Sheiko Gold: Workout Coach

Good strenght app!

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.

Really bad UX A lot of bugs You have to add a lot of exercises manually No apple watch support I'll use the app for one more month to see if the program is any good.

Works great, particularly with the velocity meter, but the latest update is very buggy. Crashes multiple times per workout and doesn’t record the last set. Of course the bug report function also doesn’t work, so you can’t report all the bugginess.

First let me state, I am NOT a competitive powerlifter. But I am a competitive amateur athlete that has made a living as a full-time personal trainer and coach for the last 25 years. This app has everything a serious lifter could ask for to quantify their training. HRV, RHR and other metrics to assess athlete readiness before and RPE during the workout vs. loads, reps and sets; all combine to create an impulse response model to training that is the best I have seen for the gym. You can add your own exercises to your app’s library and the entries are very specific and detailed. You can add velocity accelerometer data that synchs to the app. And this is just scratching the surface. The thought that went into this is simply outstanding. But this app isn’t for everyone. This app is for athletes that value optimizing and quantifying training loads and are students of the craft. It will take about 30 days of entries before the AI in the app becomes helpful and you must enter the data, all of it. If you can’t do that you’re wasting your time. But for the focused and disciplined this app delivers!
