Sheiko #37 Week 1 Day 2

Deadlifts and Rack Pulls
Flew through the deadlift sets with minimal rest. Feeling fit and strong! Incline bench completed with 6kg Dumbbells. Rack pulls felt funny and not sure if I'm doing them wrong or they're meant to feel funny. Used the orange band for dips, slow and controlled making sure I dead stopped at the bottom to avoid that bounce that makes dips so easy! Lunges were done walking holding a 4kg medicine ball overhead, my legs were fried!

Foam rolled at the start, my hamstrings have been so tight and saw, have been using cricket balls in all my sore spots and has sorted my tight trap. Its a bit niggly from Mondays bench session.

Today's session took 1hr 30mins. I'm soaked in sweat and I reckon the session would have been shorter if i didn't have to stuff around with rack pull heights and reorganising the gym to get the safeties out of the rack!

Bench/squat/bench
Wow, I see now what people mean by volume! I downloaded the app Sheikodroid to check off the sets as I got through them, it felt never ending!!! Just when you think your finished, theres another set of bench to go!
I used wrist wraps and paused on bench a lot. Setting up for each set became monotonous, my back was hurting, my shoulders were hurting, my wrists were hurting!! I got through it all and felt a sense of achievement afterwards.
Session took 1hrs and 35mins. I kept the rests short.
The assistance I kept light and well controlled. The assistance on sheiko isn't meant to help build the comp lifts, it's meant to counteract the movement of the comp lifts.
