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.
