Hello all,
I've been training intermittently for the past three years but really disciplined since the beginning of 2017 when I decided I wanted to focus on strength. I started doing my own variations of programs I found online until I decided to try Starting Strength in Sep 2017 with great results until recovery became tough. I decided to try Sheiko after reading great things online but I have doubt that's been pestering me about the program the App suggested. When I inputed my 1RMs (315lb Squat, 415lb DL, 220lb) and weight 202lb (I'm 30 years old and 185cm) the app suggested I do the Advanced Medium Load Prep Cycle I. While I do prefer the 4 days/week schedule I don't think I'm an Advanced lifter. I'm currently in Day 3 of Week 2 but I feel there's a lot of assistance exercises and not too much volume on the main lifts (I haven't done a single proper DL since I started). I'm enjoying the high volume of Sheiko and the app works wonderfully but I want to be sure I'm investing my time as wisely as possible as my goal for 2018 is to lift 3/4/5 plates on bench/sq/dl by the end of the year. Thanks for your help!
