Sheiko Powerlifting Training for Android
I have been using this app for 10 weeks now and I am seeing real advances in strength and size.
Needs to be brought to the same standard as the iPhone app.
Unfinished and no longer updated.
Great app would be nice if you could track in lbs instead though
Sheiko is a god
Amazing app. Kudos to developer!
Just lift.
Simply the best.
This app is provides excellent tool for training the main lifts. I have made significant gains in all three lifts following one of the program templates. It is straightforward, well organized and simple to follow. It will work well for either a novice or an intermediate strength athlete. It does not replace a coach, but it does make planning for each training day very simple. If you want to get stronger, this app has some powerful tools to help you.
This app is great and it's nice not having to worry about programming for a while. I just do what it tells me. Most coaches or programs cost hundred per month, so definitely a bargain here. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust weights for accessories though.
App is bug filled, feels like some features hardly work. I constantly lose my workout on Android when I swap tabs. Timer is useless, calendar went missing, hard time switching phases.. etc. Great programs to use but the app is not on par.
For this amount of money I'd expect the app to not crash so often. Some of the exercises are clearly based off wrong percentages. Very unfinished product. disappointing
The iOS version is amazing. It's a shame that Boris' programs are represented by such an app. Hopefully the dev updates it soon.
This app is such a disappointment to Sheiko. Like Daniel Schneider says, this android app is extremely lackluster and pretty much abandoned. I heard the iPhone one is fine... The app does not roll to your next cycle. It has no indication that you even finished a cycle. I ended up running intermediate prep load one TWICE and started my 3rd before I realized. Why does it not move you to the logical next step prep load two? These cycles are not independent one month programs and should not be set up so. $13 for junk. Support Sheiko directly instead and do yourself a favor and get the excel sheets available instead.
Please, stay away. Absolutely not worth it. Use Google Sheets. I wouldn't use this app if I hadn't already paid for it.
When you edit a program it doesn't put the amount of weight to use, just the percentage. Doesn't make it clear how to check the previous sessions and the rest timer is not worth taking note of as it runs during your set. Boris' work is fantastic I think the android app needs some more time
The app crashes almost constantly when going to the workout of the day. Makes the app unusable and not worth the $
Good app. Little expensive but if it works for the Russians it will work for you
Everything is colorcoded with no clear meaning, rest timer runs during the exercise, multitasking often resets workout, no clear starting point in app, no direction to how it should be used or adapted. Half-finished features everywhere. Downright dangerous recommendations sometimes (Good Mornings with 75% of my deadlift max? You wanna cripple me?) when they probably shouldn't be there at all. TL;DR: DO NOT BUY, NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
Needs to be brought to the same standard as the iphone app. Many features are missing from the android version which affect functionality & actually change the program! Not being able to view past workouts..no program rollover, no skills test at end of block...This is NOT acceptable.When fixed up this will be awesome! Edit: used for several months & the creator clearly is not going to bring this app up to standard. I recommend you DO NOT download this app rather use spreadsheets. Great potential wasted :(
Very nice but has an annoying feature where if I am checking out other workouts and try to scroll up near the bottom of the page, it thinks I am done and closes the screen for me. Problem especially for larger smartphone when using one handed. If I wanted to go back I'd press the back button
The timer resets or the whole workout resets when you leave the app to check something else. Good morning % are ridiculous & you can't edit the weight used, if you put them down as notes, you can't scroll down to see the notes from previous workouts. When you test 105% for new maxes it doens't automatically put them in and you can't adjust for missed attempts. Apart from these few bugs the app is good with exercise videos & many programs to choose from based on your level. Overall good but could be better.
Not worth the money yet. Many features just aren't built, and are just placeholders for things that may never come.
App won't run. Constantly crashes as soon as I click the dumbbell to start.
Can't enter what weight you actually lifted even for accessories. Can't jump between lifts if you do your accessories in a different order. Timer stops working if you leave the app and return. Can't access past workouts
Excellent app, probably the best out there, whose only issue really is a lack of guidance for new users who are not necessarily used to Sheiko's style of programming. If you already are, then it's a blind buy.
Best app so far that I've come across for powerlifting. No issues at all so far (Nexus 5). It's still room for improvement but definitely worth the money as is. Implementing save to profile on cloud would be great, especially if linked to profile that can be used on several platforms (iPhone, Android, Windows). Also, adjusting the weight, set, reps and name on none core exercises would be great.
All the app is good for is giving you your numbers for your lifts. Rest timer doesn't work correctly, program doesn't automatically roll to the next cycle. Example after finishing preparation 1 I feel the program should automatically load preparation 2. I shouldn't have to go and select it after paying $13 dollars for this app. I have been using the app for about 2-3 months and I still don't know of how to go back and see my previous workout notes that I entered. I WOULDN'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS APP.
Great app. Videos are really helpful. Much more in depth than the "numbered" routines.
I can't figure out how to view my previous workouts, if someone could explain this that would be great, I put notes in but now I can't view them
Kinda messed up that you pay for an app and it won't download.. thanks a lot
Works good but can't change from kg to lb. Can't edit without to show what I actually did in the gym. Expects me to do 160kg dumbbell fly.. Impossible.
This is an excellent app, one of the nest I've seen
Great build. Finally!
Works great, more than I need.
Good
Great app, useful, gainz!
I love this app
Good app

It's 2016 guys. You can't expect people to pay money for an app that doesn't have any way to transfer data to a new device. I want my money back >:[
