Hi all, This is both my first log and De-lurk combined. A little background here. Been lifting for over 5 years now initially as a way to lose a shed load of weight being a nice round 250 pounds of blubber as a 16 year old, the initially year being the classic arms and chest for the lols routine and then after being enlightened by a large angry bearded man to stop being a pussy and squat I began to take things seriously
just some stats as of today:
Age: 21
Height: 6’1
Weight: 222 Lbs
Dead-lift: 566 Lbs
Squat: 500 Lbs
Bench: 320 Lbs
Going to be running Sheiko for the next 3 months possibly 4 depending on how I feel and whether i can still walk, last year ran Sheiko for 3 months and felt pretty good, made some decent gains on all the lifts so hopefully will work out well this time. I’ll be running no. 31 followed by 37 and then 30 with possibly 40 as a forth month long slot (these are numbers of programs off the spreadsheet I have). Now I also have the fun of juggling Sheiko with martial arts training as well, which is somewhat of challenge but i managed to pull it off last time round fairly well so just have to knuckle down of food intake and recovery.
Goals for this year are a 600 pound deadlift, a 550 pound squat and a 350 bench. if I achieve below that I’m not to fussed as this is a big year for me with it being the last 6 months of Uni and needing to find a job and all after that but I think if i work hard they are reasonable targets.
Right so lets get the first Log of training up:

the weights here are in kgs, being in England and all. This was followed by stretching foam rolling and a soak in a salt bath, bit of soreness but not too bad considering the squat pyramid at the beginning.
