Sheiko - Workout Routines App Reviews

What’s it mean when the exercise just says chest and no workout with it?

It’s well worth the price and the recent update that lets you easily view workouts ahead of time makes it near perfect. I wish it could still estimate 1RMs from recent rep maxes, but that’s not super important.

As a personal trainer I often used overly complicated programming. This app and the Strongur app both have given me personal gains I would have never thought possible. Approaching 70 years of age I’m setting goals I never reached as a young Marine Training officer over 40 years ago.

Seriously, I’m a general lifter and I wanted to transition to actual competitive powerlifting. I was kind of unsure about what route to go, so I decided to download this app because I’ve heard nothing but the best about Sheiko. It’s a really well made, easy to follow app that will ensure you progress.

Powerlifters dream app for anyone running Sheiko programs. Very convenient interface used to track workout includes video links for each movement and ability to adjust sets/reps. Sure the spreadsheets are free online, but no where near sad easy to use in the middle of a workout.

I like there app, but there are definitely some quality of life things that could be addressed. An example is, how it scrolls back to the top of the screen while I’m trying to put in my next RIR. Another one being it doesn’t always save my weights or notes for the auxiliary stuff. Could be just me, but this is what I’ve found so far. Aside from that, good app, great value.

With every version, this app keeps getting better. Pick realistic starting weights and let the app take you through each Sheiko phase/cycle.

So I’ve been using this app since 2018. It has worked flawlessly until 2020. Sometime last year the date functionality broke. I stopped doing Sheiko last year so I’m not sure when exactly this happened. The date issues causes some issues in not allowing you to select the date when you finish a workout. This issue carries over into other selection areas as well only giving a blank selection screen and no means of resolving. Thus many of your workouts will not have the correct date or exercises.

The app works great and is very useful.

It works as long as your consistent, doing the daily workout for increasing my overall lifts took me 1h45-2h to complete. My squat deadlift and bench increasing surprisingly more then I ever would have thought.

Nice update, but still no iPad functionality so the screen isn’t reduced. Will this be added in the future?

I am on iOS 12.3.1 on an iPhone 7 and the app continually glitches out. It deleted my workout history, keeps resetting my input weights, and now it won’t stay open for more than a second. It looked like a really great app and I’m sad it’s not useable for $15 :(

This app would be a 5 star if the date display wasn’t broken for your workout. I can provide screenshots if developer contacts me somehow (don’t know how to report bugs). Don’t get me wrong the workout portion of it works as intended the issue is when your finishing logging and putting which day you completed the workout. I will edit my review once fixed.
