Notes
-So it begins.  Nothing much to say, the workout volume speaks for itself.   Going back to bench after high volume squats was challenging.  It had to force myself to stay in a tight position.  My body was tired.

-I'm going to sleep like a baby.

  1. Is Leg Press part of Sheiko or do you pick some assistance of your own?

  2. Kinda both - I picked it, but Sheiko calls for you to pick all of your developmental/supplemental exercises based on need. I think people look at the online excel spreadsheets and think that "good mornings" and "db flyes" are like required assistance. This is wrong - in his book, Boris specifically says all of these programs are simply examples.

    Its an advanced routine, so you should be able t pick your own exercises accordingly. I picked leg presses for development since I saw my quads lose some size during the 2 months off from squats. Plus, I go super light and it gives my lower back a break.

    Here is a link where Eric Talmant (EFS sheiko guy) explains the different exercise selection:
