Hey mate, knew you'd be on here How goes it? The touch training? I've dropped off the other forum if you hadn't noticed. I'm training at "Ultimate You Fitness" at the moment - new gym and gear, 1 block walk from home and cheap. But no one in there besides me doing this stuff yet! i might be interested in having a look - when do you train?

Something I found useful on my first run of sheiko was to focus heavily on technique. Make every rep the best rep. If possible get an extra pair of eyes or film it. Good luck man!

I wouldn't be doing anything too intense (like HIIT) on your off days. I would do the rolling, stretching etc. on your off days.

All questions are welcome. Us Sheiko nerds love to share the badfun love.

Thanks for the input.
Will likely stick with a small warm-up on training days, and move stretching to off days - can do this at home. So all good on that front.
Ok on the HIIT - given I have a dual focus though with basketball, how can I attempt to keep a little cardio conditioning? As since I've left running the 'tan' etc and moved into the gym over the past 18 months, the cardio capability has been gradually slipping. I'm ok with this but do want a "minimum" level so that I can run out a game of basketball.
I'm probably a little behind on that front and slipped a little too far, and if I can't sprinkle the odd session of cardio successfully while doing #37, then I might delay starting for a fortnight and go all out on cardio for 2 weeks to get this to the minimum?

Hi stew. Joel do you think given wanting to balance this he should run a reduced program like Dave's? Ethan and Karl at our club had great success jumping into that and balancing with footy then I upped their intensity when their focus switched to lifting. Ill try to link you stew or I can easily email. It's basically 37 run twice then 32 but with less volume and intensity.

Weeks 5-8 of Dave's plan is #37 but with increased bench intensity. The squat/deadlift volume is the same. Dave's program is also a great place to start.

Cool i thought it was less, not sure why. Maybe i should actually compare things before i assume Stick with 37 then

It's slightly less overall as #37 has more benching at less intensity.

Some Sheiko newbie questions: (I'm starting #29 on Mon)
* Deadlift from Boxes: due to lack of equipment, these will probably be rack pulls - but .. is it possible to do regular DL's from floor instead? Rack Pulls are no problem, just wondering though ..
* (I didn't want to be that guy, but it seems like I'm going to be) The assistance selection, understandably not the most important factor - but was interested in the guidelines that can / or are to be followed when running Sheiko. Is there much leeway ?

Is there much leeway ? so, when can we book you into a PL meet reference for SPP / assistance exercises: unitedstrength.boards.net/index.cgi?board=powerlifting&action=display&thread=25Deadlift from boxes - my understanding is that rack pulls work ok, but it's better to pull from blocks (which can just be a couple of plates/old bits of timber), this is because pulling from blocks is closer to an actual deadlift, and you can't cheat it as easily because of the starting position. SP can probably explain better.

Thanks man - appreciate the info What sort of box height am I aiming for with the DL ? I don't think I own enough plates (depending on height), so I'll hopefully get something organised over the weekend.

I don't think I own enough plates (depending on height), so I'll hopefully get something organised over the weekend. For myself, I usually use a 12.5cm step - so the bar is about 2" below the knee. I try and set the height so that I start just below my weakest point.
