Last squat set(180) sucked. One set had bad depth, rest was good.
Three sets of the bench was good, on one set my back cramped up and set sucked, another set just sucked for no reason.
Took longer rest between sets today.
Funny thing; Flies seems to make my bench feel better.

Hip still hurt. Going to stretch now

 

[tekkno]

Strong lifting crza! And great pictures as well. I have to admit that I am jealous. Hope your hip pain isn't serious. Keep up the good work.

Thanks bro. Appreciate it!

Hanging leg raises bw x 3 x 10

2hours

Back kept rounding and weights was heavy, and I was sweating like crazy so I started to get angry. Then I strain my pec and I even angrier and have to stop benching. Then my grip turns to shit and weight feel heavy again.

Just a shit day I guess. Will do overhead press instead of bench press for the next days untill the pec feels good again. Not sure what my max will be. Ive done a comfortable 70x5, so 80 sounds about right.

Getting a bit fed up with sheiko. Maybe ill finish this cycle, deload and do the 32 peak and end it there. We'll see.

Press felt easy.
Hips felt uncomfortably stiff and painful during squatting. Lots of streching and rest during the weekend.
Each set got better, though.

Tried zercher good morning while pausing on pins. Havent seen this on YT, so I videoed it, also filmed a cool variation of wrist curls that I got from a Denis Cyplenkov video.

Good to see you pressing. 65x5 is probably very light for you right now.

Hope the pec heals up soon.

 

[CRZA]

Its actually 5 sets of 2. I always go Sets x Reps
Thanks! I hope so too. Pressing doesnt bother it at all, so its a good substitute.

Dat pump.

 

[CRZA]

yep. Feels good man

Hips hurt, so I decided not to squat today. Wont squat for the rest of the week. Bummed out about that. My symptoms seems like iliopsoas bursitis.
Ran out and bought myself a foam roller. Will roll 3 times per day or so, and do some stretching and resting. Hopefully the pain will vanish during the week. Will still deadlift and do other exercises.
Did some rows instead

Now that you switched to pressing, there is finally a lift in your log I can sort of relate with (other rollouts and shit). :icon_chee

Good luck with it, man.

Ran out and bought myself a foam roller. Will roll 3 times per day or so, and do some stretching and resting.

If it's anything to do directly with connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, bursae, etc.) aggressive rolling can do more harm than good. In other words, take it easy with that shit.

 

[CRZA]

yep. I thought mostly to roll the it-band to help with the snapping hip. There's no doubt that the snapping hip had a part to play in this recent hip pain. The pain is on the inside, under the ASIS. Your probably right anyway, no reason to go crazy at the begining. Ill start easy and then ease into doing more if it helps.

Thanks for the wishes!

Pressing never been a good lift of mine, will be fun to see how I respond to doing it 3 x week.

 

[kotriz]

keep it up!

 

[Gingervitis]

Your press will come in line, just gotta give it time.

Sucks to hear about the injuries, hope you recover soon!

 

[CRZA]

keep it up!

Thanks! Allthough I think it be wise to keep it down for a bit, so that my body can heal a bit for a while :icon_lol:

Pretty good day. Deadlifts felt heavy, but looked pretty good on video.

 

[Fighting Sprite]

If you stop sheiko, what program are you thinking of running?

 

[CRZA]

No idea. It depends on how my body feels also. I might continue sheiko but then be a little wiser and maybe only do 2 cycles then a peak, so that I can recover a little.

Lets wait and see what results I get from sheiko first

 

[miaou]

Nice pressing, and nice work all-together.

 

[kotriz]

waiting for sheiko results!
