Thoughts-
I'm ending the Sheiko programming. I've missed and will miss too many workouts, and it's getting too costly to keep it up, time/energy wise. I need to focus on school. My grades aren't what they could be, so I need to stop thinking about other things and focus. I've compiled a little hierarchy of physical things in my head, that goes from least costly to most costly. Here's how it looks:
1.) Sleeping
2.) Eating
3.) Jits
4.) MetCon
5.) Getting bigger
6.) Getting stronger
Sleeping and eating are in the context of thriving, instead of surviving. So it takes energy or a conscious effort to eat and sleep to the extent of reaching the threshold of thriving. Jits is relatively a low input thing due to the low frequency of going to roll. I get called up to go, I roll for an hour, two tops, and leave. MetCon, being quick and dirty, is something you don't really have to invest a lot of thought, drive, etc into. Just go into the gym and do your thing and be out in <30 min. Getting bigger and getting stronger are really two things that require the most effort to achieve. The sheer amount of energy investment trumps all other things on the list. Then there's the frequency of it, which to me is pretty devastating, since I have always been a "one thing at a time on all cylinders" type of guy.
Long story short, I'm back to doing my own thing at the gym. It feels good to be doing different pulling than DL's and it feels great on my elbow to not have to OHP so much.
