When I printed off the "beginner" Sheiko workout #29 I looked at the numbers and, like many before me, said to myself that this would be quite easy and I'm not sure if I would feel anything. Boy was I wrong! I did not touch higher than 75% of my max on bench or squat and my body is so freaking sore today I can hardly believe it. Thank you smolov (Manhaven Project) for giving me a heads up. I assumed that the "accumulation of volume" would be felt after a few weeks, not the first workout! I'm sure that this is a sign of things to come and it most certainly will only get harder as the weeks progress. I can do this. I can do this.
