360 without a shirt is pretty good I'd say.

Good luck with the 9 week program. It is very tough. For me now the setup of Sheiko fits perfectly because I have quite some time until the next meet. A
I got a medal for second place. I did not receive a sports medal since high school so that was a good motivation. Plus my son really likes the medal too.

Before loosing the last 3kg before the meet I benched 150kg in training and I did not feel that I was close to my limit. But at the meet I had to fight with the 150kg and actually lifted them with too little pause off the chest.

Here is what I did yesterday. This marked the end of the 4th sheiko week.

Coach reduced the load on the deadlift which was a good thing because my form fell apart then when going over 180kg. THis week the form was OK throughout with shoulders properly retracted. Experimented with hook grip but I think my hands are not big enough to properly do it. Anyway grip was not issue and has not been an issue for some time.

I hear you. Think this will be a nice addition. YouTube works too of course, but that comes with the price of a wider audience (and lower video quality).

Love the hook grip myself, though my best training deadlift is only 162.5kg (also tried it with high pin pulls above 200kg though). It was extremely painful for the first sessions, but the thumbs adapt and then it's just amazing how well the bar stays put. I use liberal amounts of chalk on the inside of the thumbs. One of my main motivations for changing to a hook grip was to get an even pull to keep my back as happy as possible since the mixed grip always leads to the body being slightly twisted. And I like it. Just my .02 cents.

Kris thanks for the tip. I will try to incorporate the hook grip slowly. Starting with warm up weights and then use it for heavier and heavier reps too. You are right about the twisting. I experimented with an overhand grip and it is indeed easier to keep the bar close and the body straight. However over 160 kg my grip would tend to slip. Over under grip worked well grip wise. Even 235kg were ok. But there is always the slight twist.

Bench was feeling really good and 130 flew off the chest. I had to train at a commercial gym today. They have of course a lot of mirrors and that threw me off completly while squatting. Luckily today was a lighter day.

long workout but worth it. I  think now I can hold the upper back in the right position during the pull. A good thing about Sheiko programs is that you get plenty of opportunity to practice.
Next two weeks will be done in a commercial gym, because I will be travelling. Lets see how that goes.

Good Morning

Struggling with lb kg conversion but I think the weights were close to the kg I use. Interesting workout in the sense that during my 1st squat round I got good advice from a former powerlifter. He told me to not look upward so much on the way down and then also proposed how I could try to alter my sumo stance. I will give it a try.
Not sure about body weight. I always gain weight while in the US because I eat in restaurants a lot. My guess is that I am around 93.

Lets see how this runs for maxing out.

visited my chiropractor/ osteopath the next day. A vertebra was a bit dislocated but this could easily be fixed. But as a result I need to wait till Friday to move weights again. Little bit of a break will be OK. So lets see.

Whew, glad to hear that the back issue wasn' t too serious.

Hopefully it is not one of those injures that keep coming back at unwanted times.
