Sheiko Gold is a highly advanced, AI-driven training tool designed primarily for powerlifters and strength athletes. This app takes the principles of the well-known Sheiko powerlifting programs and enhances them with real-time AI customization. Here’s how it works: 1. Personalized Training Programs: Sheiko Gold uses an initial 30-day observation period to gather data on how you respond to different training loads, exercises, and recovery periods. After this period, the app begins to create highly individualized training programs that adapt to your specific needs, aiming for sustainable long-term progress. 2. Real-Time Adjustments: Unlike static programs, the AI adjusts your workout intensity and volume in real-time based on your readiness and feedback. This includes modifications to rest intervals, exercise selection, and load management to optimize performance while minimizing the risk of injury. 3. Advanced Features: The app incorporates several innovative features, such as velocity-based training (VBT) using the VELOS-ID barbell tracker. This allows the AI to make even more precise adjustments during workouts based on the speed of your lifts, further personalizing the training experience. 4. Flexible and Responsive: The app is designed to be used in real-time. You can adjust your training schedule on the fly, and the AI will recalibrate your program accordingly. This flexibility is ideal for lifters with unpredictable schedules or those who want to tailor their training to daily readiness levels. 5. Support for Various Goals: Whether you’re aiming to get stronger, improve technique, build muscle, or prepare for a competition, Sheiko Gold has tailored options. It can even guide you through off-season training or help you peak for a specific date, ensuring you’re at your best when it matters most. Overall, Sheiko Gold stands out as a cutting-edge tool for serious lifters, combining the expertise of Sheiko training with modern AI technology to deliver a truly customized training experience. It’s particularly beneficial for those who appreciate detailed programming and real-time feedback that aligns with their performance and recovery needs . HEALTH Sheiko Gold also uses Apple’s Health app to read heart rate data so you can monitor your recovery between sets. SUBSCRIPTIONS The Basic Subscription is available for $19.99/month, $89.99/6 months, or $119.99/year (prices may vary by territory) within the Sheiko Gold app. You can subscribe and pay through your iTunes account.

Absolutely Fantastic !!!

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!

Easily the best training app I’ve used

I really love this app. Quick background, I’m an amateur power lifter who was looking for a program that adjusted for me and was easy to use. I was already familiar with the Sheiko style of programming (focus on the big lifts in the 65%-85% range with frequent training) so gravitate to this app. I’ve used it for two months now. The first month is an observation period where you enter what you’re already doing and it learns from you. Once that is through then it programs for you. It will adjust mid session if things are too hard or too easy so each time you train it’s based off how you are feeling. The app is well done and is really simple to use. Besides giving you your daily training it will track your readiness and fatigue level. It’s simple to use and very intuitive. It’s continually updated and you can tell that the author really cares about it. Highly recommended.

Amazing app and more amazing dev

This is truly one of the best fitness apps that Ive used and if you are into powerlifting you owe it to yourself to at least give this a shot. Sheiko is one of the few training methodologies I had yet to try and the results so far have been phenomenal. I feel like the app is pushing me just hard enough to make progress but not too hard that I burn out and injure myself. I always leave the gym feeling accomplished. The developer is quite possibly one of the best around. Always active on the Facebook group and pretty much pushing out weekly updates for bug fixes and new features. Really excited to see what else is in store for this app. I don’t see myself going back to training without it any time soon.

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.

Added an extra 4 free trial workouts on top of the two-week free trial. So now you can test the workouts before starting the trial.
