Mind over Macros

[teamfatboy]

Hoping to be off the 137kg where I been stuck for a few weeks now.

^^ oops used the girls login

Ooops indeed. If Bar-belle's hit 137kg, she's been out-eating you, Cap'n :grin:

Mind you, she's on that hybrid Sheiko-a-la-Steak programme :think:

Both felt flat, appetite is off and on again and to make matters worse the 4 letter word got in the way not to mention the scales not moving even after 2 weeks of furious feasting not sure what to make of that. Anyway it sure is nice to be deloading as its been a 17 week slog.

[Grover]

17 weeks of Sheiko!

17 weeks of Sheiko!

so you gonna take a break from the program now?

and Ive loved every rep :twisted:

I will take a break ....a few days off any lifting and then come back with a conditioning week and try to time a peak for late august. Im thinking a 13 weeker (Sheiko) would be a nice change but I also want to work in the equipment a bit more as well and am currently keeping my eyes open for a size 52 Fury shirt. Raw lifting will be my main main focus still but to learn a shrit and to keep my skills up in the suit are important. Will look at some dates and suss a sound plan. A bit more weight would be good too but Im in no hurry as long as I stay well inside SHW territory.

[Viking Power]

cheers VP 8) would love to crack that 600kg mark...will see

that would be cool brother, what does the program set out as max lifts on 3rd attempts? and total off the three brother?

VP

[steak]

what does the program set out as max lifts on 3rd attempts? and total off the three brother?

VP

Sq - 205

b - 150

d - 240

so as you see I fall a bit short...bench I feel will be 145 as I've moved the grip out and yet again refined the technique with wider foot placemnet to keep my arse on the bench, dead shave felt like crap this 2nd part of cycle so anything over 230 is a bonus and the brightside is my squat has really started to feel good. 200 and 210 were easy so Im hoping for 220-230 on the day. That should make up the short fall

Sq - 225

B - 145

D - 235

T - 605

is the current plan of attack but Im gonna bust my butt for a big squat and the basically try and write myself off with bench and dead with what ever i have left. Will also take it slower to spread it and get the rests in rather than hit it like a young bull :roll: Also rolling for a PM lift as thats when Ive been training so it should "feel" about right. anyway ...enough overthinking it :grin:

[Big john]

600 wheeeeew yea buddy! real talk, give it hell! :twisted:

Bang on the money brother very reachable mate, go hard big man look forward to the results brother........ but take your time as stated remembering comp lasts a large part off the day so don't rush the test and put in 1000% remember ya snack food you'll be surprised how much it drains ya when your lifts are hitting all new PB's one after another mate, think strong attack bar makes sure you reinforce in the brain that this shit is light and smoke it don't second think mate you own it safe traveling Steak :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
