SheikoDroid for Android
I personally wouldn't bother with this app. It works perfectly fine but the Dev doesn't double check anything so some of the weights have been wrong, reps switched with sets and accessory exercises completely missing. If there was a way to customize your own workouts that would be great but would also mean his paid app would never get used.
'Check the options menu available from the home screen.' This is the key to making this thing work; your phone buttons need to be set to open additional options.
Does not work
Doesn't load workouts
Russian powa!
Best
Doesn't work. All it says is nothing to do. Galaxy s3.
Every program told me I had nothing to do....
Possibly the worst app I've ever downloaded. Pretty sure it's just a vehicle for ad clicks.
This app is full of adds that automatically open web pages even if you don't click them...
As with many others I was tripped up by the nothing to do error. Please developer check all exercises in the options menu by default. Or have a more obvious button on the home screen its not obvious. Simple ui but does the job
Pretty simple and effective . Could incorporate more #s. Edit just saw the pro version, will grab that and rate.
it's a great app. heard about sheiko since last year but never really tried the program because i'm too lazy to do all the calculations. this app makes life a lot easier for a lifter. because of this app i'm gonna do sheiko since all the calculations are done for me using this app. will be doing 3 different sheiko cycles before my potential first meet in september. was thinking of buying the SheikoDroid pro as my way of showing support...but too bad "this item cannot be installed in your device's country." well, maybe later when google expands their service. this is a great app.
When the app doesn't stop working it is great but it seems to always stop working. Fix the problem and this app would be awesome.
some 5 sets of 3 are shown as 3x5. while its a usual format for russian training, 5x3 is used then 3x5 in same workout making it appear as one is 5sets of 3 while other is 3 sets of 5. other than that i loved using this app. brought my squat from 345 to 425 when i first ran sheiko 30 continuously a few times.
Every program told me I had nothing to do....
There's absolutely ZERO content in this app. Oh wait, there are a ridiculous amount of ads. Not just banners, but intrusive ads that actually open up straight to Google Play. I input my 1RMs and got jack squat from this app. Don't waste your time.
Options wouldn't work
Waste of time
Ok peeps. Input 1 rep maxes and then left click the bottom left of the phone area that brings up options. From here select options and check all the boxes for the exercises you want.
Doesn't work, fix it
Just says nothing to do. It never used too sort it out
This app keeps getting better. The developer is on top of improving it. There seems to be something to sheiko's method. We need more
Like I said. The workouts aren't hard at all and the weight amounts are really off numbers.
I don't understand how to use it. after i enter my 1rms and the cycle it always says nothing to do.
Didn't work fix it
Will give 5 when the new sheiko are added.
Loaded up quick. Got the nothing to do screen. Looked in the reviews, enabled the exercises. Now it works great. Thanks for the help guys.
Great app
It took a while to figure out what the set/rep scheme was doing. But can someone explain the difference between the programs and at what point does one test a new 1RM again? Is after the last day of the last week of the last program?
Note: Go to the options from the main page and check all the boxes for main lifts and you won't get "nothing to do today." This is a great app. Would like it to save my progress after each session is completed.
Says nothing to do
Easy and simple! Takes the hassle out of spreadsheets and papers in the gym, considering it's free, I couldn't ask for any more! Ads aren't really in the way either! Superb. For the 3 people who rated 1 star because it says nothing to do, try adding your maxes in the options screen

I enter my maxes and all it says its Nothing to do.
Not working for me...I installed this app with high hopes, but when I put in my maxes and press pump it tells me "nothing to do"...does that my maxes are high enough that I should sit back and do nothing lol...if anyone knows a fix yo this problem please post it
Kid, you have to enable all the lifts in the menu. That is why it won't work for you. It is a gray app. Very simple yet useful tool!
Decent app but not great. Way too limited. Doesn't plot out a very good plan based off 1rm.
As for several other reviewers, I cannot seem to get this to run. I get a screen saying nothing to do despite several attempts to input IRM for every lift. Changing IRM, programme or day etc has no effect. Frustrating App as I wouldn't consider myself to be a dummy and others seem to have discovered how to use it.
