Sheiko Gold: Workout Coach

(Probably) the best app for powerlifting and power building

La migliore

Perfect app!!!

I cannot complete a freestyle workout, i’m stuck in the “exit & save” screen , and the only button that works is “return to workout”... It’s frustrating!

Bella app, seguire il piano così è ancora più appassionante

This is one of those things that you wish i could have had 10-15 years ago in high school. Having to sit down and manually plan out your lifts takes up a lot of time - and time is money. Unfortunately, anyone who is serious about training beyond marginally better is bound to the need to either hire someone to tell you what to do or to plan it yourself. I ran into this app almost 2 years ago and it’s one of those things that is well thought out to the point where it seamlessly has integrated into my routine. I had some questions along the way but the dev has always been good to respond and explain things. I will say that it’s 10x better with the velocID tracker if you can get your hands on one (they’re hard to come by due to always selling out) Honestly just take the plunge and try it for a few months - the feeling of being able to go into the gym with a good program while not having to consume your schedule with planning is worth it.

I used sheiko workouts in the past. I love low rep, heavy weight, high volume lifting. This app takes all the guess work out. Remember to customize the exercise selection and it picks only exercises available to you and identifies your preferred lifts. Overall I love this app for how simple it makes lifting. I used to overthink my training plans or tweak them too often. This negates that. I get to just lift.

This app keeps getting better with every update. It’s more than Sheiko. You can add your own exercises and build your own workouts.

Update 11/22/23: I don't know why but some of my exercises are giving me wacky weights tondo. For instance competition bench is trying to make me go up to 800 pounds. My max is 330 pounds. Also for years now the accessories always has the opposite system. If I am using kilos the accessories are in pounds and if it is pounds the accessories default to kilos. I have no idea why this happens. I figured it would be fixed but never has. Also I think the summary should just be on the bottom where you scroll too in the timer screen. It being a separate screen and then the timer can't be seen anymore is a little clunky. Hope these get remedied soon. Loving the app so far. Only thing that I didn't like is that I was in the middle of Sheiko AML to use for observation time. In fact I have 16 days of observation. Before subscribing was able to pick the AML template but after you subscribe you have to manually put it in. I intend to use sheiko for AI after the template is run but hate having to put the AML in manually. Also would love to be able for the timer to run even after you dismiss and also that after the last set you could see what the next exercise is. It just says. Next exercise. Edit: I see that you updated that. Thanks for listening to your consumers. It would be good if the timer started right when you clicked the new weight though during rpe screen. I have pressed it but not chosen rpe and then when I do the timer starts. Minor detail. Also if you could be able to go in and out of the recovery screen and have that timer independent of that screen that would be good too. update 10/22/2021 - Still a great app , would hope that you could see what workout will be next before choosing Sheiko AI workout as well. In the regular Sheiko app you can see a preview of what your next workout is going to be without opening the training section. Edit: love the updates , small request. If the percentage numbers were next to the values. Just helps a little seeing exact percentages of maxes I’m doing. Thanks for the best updates in any app I ever had. Well worth the money.

Been using off and on for years. Had a problem and reported bug. Got an email response from developer not some underling the actual developer and emailed back and forth until issue was resolved. Not only that but the strength and size gains on this app is absolutely amazing. Best program I have used since beginning weight training 30 years ago. If i could give more stars I would so I guess I can do multiple reviews lol.
