New app user-ummmm...431lb Good Mornings?
New Android app user. I have tried to look up my own answers with not much luck, so here are my questions, much obliged to any and all who help.

My particulars: 41yr old male,100kg(220lb) weight class (normal weight 227), 30+ years training exp., but only started competing 10 months ago. My last/best comp #s: 220 (485lb) squat; 140 (308lb) bench; 262.5? (578lb) deadlift, total: 622.5kg (1371lbs). Also worth noting that I have Early-Onset Parkinson's Disease but it does not affect my large scale movement much yet.

QUESTIONS:
1- If I classify myself correctly  here: http://sheiko-program.ru/forum/index.php?topic=3.0 thenI am closer to CMS than 1st class Sportsman. If that's correct, then according to this: http://sheiko-program.ru/forum/index.php?topic=311.0;topicseen my monthly volume should generally fall between 1000-1100 lifts. Am I on the right track here?

2. Just looking at the app, it looks like I would start with Advanced Medium Load Prep 2 (1456 lifts over 6 weeks). I'm not planning on competing for another 5-6 months. Am I correct to start here?

3. Is there a proper progression to the workouts, which would I do next? Does it go to Medium Load 3 or Large Load 2 or is there some other pattern that I don't see?

4. The accessory loading is very confusing. ex 1: week1, day1 has Chest Muscles 8x4, 65%, 198. would I be safe to assume that I'm generally just looking for an accessory (Inc DB Press for ex) to be performed in 4 sets of 8, or is the notation of 65% and 198 important?

5. At other times, the accessories list reps x sets and a percentage. I'm assuming these are just to be estimated as I can't imagine having a true 1rm on most accessories.

6. Is the loading on Hyperextensions and Good Mornings a bad computation or does it include my bodyweight somehow? Day 2 GMs are 5 x 5 @ 431 which seems doable if my BW is included, but the Hypers on Day 4 are at 8 x 4 @ 374. On a Reverse Hyper this makes sense but my gym doesn't have one yet. I'm not sure I can do the hyperextension (shown in the video) even once with around 150lbs additional weight once, much less for 4 sets of 8. My assumption would be to do the hypers shown in the video with a load that brings a RPE of 7 or 8 for those 4 sets of 8. Any insight/guidance here is much appreciated.

The program looks great, and while my own programming has brought me very close to being the 1st person with Parkinson's to hold state records (and the pursuit of the national deadlift record next year), i am totally incapable of being objective while programming for myself. I'm really looking forward to this and thank you for your time and efforts. Much appreciation as well to any and all who respond.

Re: New app user-ummmm...431lb Good Mornings?
I'm not familiar with the android app specifically but I can answer a few of your questions.

1) 1000 lifts per month on average. Some months are higher and some lower.

2) Start of with the Advanced Medium Load program. Start from the beginning (Prep 1) since you have the time. The first month ramps you into it and has you working on some typical weaknesses.

3) Work through the prep periods 1, 2, 3, and comp period. See how it goes for you. From there you might feel like you need to less/more volume. Then you could switch to the small or large load if needed or just rerun the medium load if it was suitable.

4) The accessories should be chosen for your specific needs. Boris advises a class of muscles to work but you pick how to work them. For "Chest Muscles" you might feel like DB bench presses are suitable. I'm not sure about the 198 though. The 4x8 is more meaningful to me. People usually do accessories bodybuilding style and I do the same.

5) Yeah, not sure about that again. Accessories are pretty much just do whatever get you results.

6) I've never seen Boris specifically set a weight for accessories so I think that you should just pick a reasonable weight to use for that exercise.

Basically, work on the main lifts is laid out for you but accessories are fair game to use whatever works. The app might have trouble giving you numbers for those exercises initially but after you plug something in it might be a bit more reasonable next time.

Re: New app user-ummmm...431lb Good Mornings?
thank you very much for the response. It's reassuring to have my suspicions confirmed. After doing advanced med.2 day 1 last night, I found myself very curious about some of the programming (but really liked the workout). It's not like anything else I've ever done. I think I understand the recovery benefit of benching again after squatting rather than doing all that bench volume back to back. So simple and really brilliant. I suspect the almost random loading of the squat sets (3,7,4,8,2,5 reps @ 70%) are intended to allow some recovery between the bigger sets, allowing for more volume, but I would love to know for sure. I would really like to learn some of the theory behind these methods so I can be a better coach and program designer. I don't find a book on amazon, is there a particular forum post or article anywhere that sheds some light on the mans methods? (IF not, am I assuming right at least about the recovery factor?)

Here's an article I wrote that might give you some insight.
