    I once summarized the program to Sheiko as: Do what you can, but live to lift again tomorrow. He said I got the essence of it perfectly.

    I also think that since Sheiko is used to have a state-sponsored system in place where youths get their base training in, he assumes that the athlete has a wide athletic base coming in.
    Great breakdown Bromley!

    • @AlexanderBromley
      @AlexanderBromley  ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Yeah, he talks about the system in place that deals with youth lifters and how the training differs. I didn't include it but he has a novice program that looks nothing like his normal training. Dumbbells, unilateral and body weight movements, a variety of rep ranges, etc.

      @@AlexanderBromleyI mean this is partially true. No country including the soviets had a true state sponsored system for powerlifting. Powerlifting is extremely popular but not prestigious in the eyes of countries. Hence why the Soviets did not care about it. Rather the real state sponsored systems were in weightlifting, wrestling and other Olympic sports. The most talented strength kids always went to weightlifting, because that had real state sponsors behind it

  • @koffski93
    @koffski93 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    When i started lifting 7-8 years ago sheiko templates were still regarded As very high volume and the comment "no one can recover from that if you are not on PEDs" wasn't uncommon. I mean, the volume is high in number of sets but they are rarely above RPE 7 even. Powerlifting training has changed a lot since raw took over. I like Sheikos programming, but it is not the best fit for me. Something about doing 8+ reps in the squat and bench press just improves my fitness or whatever you call it, the feeling of momentum in training, and doing 4-5 sets of three at RPE 5 miss some adaptation that seem to be important for me. However, when i was between beginner and intermediate the programs worked wonders for my squat. The number of sets let me practice squatting so much.

    Like mentioned many times, these are weightlifting inspired planning. You can learn more from Arthur Dreschlers book “Weightlifting Encyclopedia” and also old soviet manuals reference from sheikos work. (Vorbyev, Matveyev, Luchasev) and other translated papers from Bud Charniga.
    The dichotomy between western and soviet style program re: volume is largely based on that weightlifting coaches treats main lifts and secondary lifts as skill acquisition as much as it is strength.
    There is a saying in weightlifting: “80% of the time we train at 80%”. You can accumulate a lot of quality and stimulating work around that %. Paired that with Pareto Principle 20% makes 80% of the gains. The other 20% is usually 85%+
    You can’t practice and refine as often with heavy loads unless the body and mind is prepared for it. Which not really required until closer to competition.
    The top down approach allows more flexibility to change within the confines of the % and NL on a macro into a more micro level. Exercises or rather drills can change based on what the coach sees so can sets and Rep schemes.
    Awesome breakdown. Thank you for the education.

    Hi Alex. Do you think that there is an effect of finishing your main lifts always with the highest intensity without any back off sets with lower intensity. Always finishing with the highest intensity of the day. I have been stumbling over this in many Eastern European strength programs…
    Sheiko does back off sets with slightly lower percentages, but I guess the idea is that the training of a particular lift stops with the highest activation of the nervous system.

  • @philipmeisterl
    @philipmeisterl ปีที่แล้ว +3

    im currently doing the sheiko workout in the back of his book
    yes this if genius its crazy it seemed like nothing and taking every training for itself it is nothing not single set in the main lifts i had were above @6 maybe even lower so super easy
    but i made the technique gains of my life I have only been training for about 2 years so it wasn't great technique and im not happy with my sqauat right now but the gains I made in technique are probably the best I have made overall
    things that might not be for everyone its literally squat bench deadlift for months and nothing else (but I always hated doing other stuff so that's not a problem for me)
    the accessories are also or at least should be very very light they are more for stretching out the muscle than anything else
    you as said never have to push yourself in a set
    training takes long im in the gym at or above 2 hours
    there is no deloading or not obvious deloading but I really haven't had to much problems with it (I haven't peaked yet so I can't say how that works but I had my first mahout so I can say it works amazing maybe even better after the peak)
    two times the same training is very hard sometimes but I get why he does it but its often hard (except when it shouldn't be)
    I made some mistakes just as a tip
    -dont add more weight it will be very light at some point that's fine
    -keep accessories light
    this video shows why I love your videos you could have said like other guys that sheiko just doesn't work because it doesnt follow western style programming but you didnt so that's amazing from you and I just get a bigger and bigger fan

    • @olindblo
      @olindblo ปีที่แล้ว +16

      How does that make any sense? Sheiko programming is sport specific training for powerlifting and how to become the best athlete at that sport, which involves a neurological adaptation (by virtue of being sport specific training). Getting bigger is not a neurological adaptation. Getting bigger just helps executing sport specific movements with more force, which also happens to be a nice byproduct of the sport specific training for powerlifting. What are you neurologically getting better at by training for hypertrophy? Are you sacrificing from sport specific training in order to pursue hypertrophy? And if so, why look to Sheiko in the first place?

    I run sheiko since my touch in powerlifting in may 2023,did 2x12 weeks programm with peak (testing week) as 13 one like its competition to actually know and update my max lift in each of 3.
    Mine bodyweight increase from 75 kg to 82 and stay there. But instead BP 70/SQ 100/DL 120 now its BP 110/SQ 140/DL 170, but also expecially in my first 13 week cycle i update manualy my max lifts for 5 kg each 4-5 weeks depends how easy my lifts become,to have slightly faster progression since im on full novice lvl.
    Also for adjusting program for myself i cut second squat after first cycle due to not good progress in squats (for my point of view ofcourse) and somehow it help me improve my squat but also do less volume. Same scenario i plan to do with benchpress for running this cycle in 3 time,because i feel like my pecs sometimes do not fully recover between sessions and progress not as good as first cycle.

    I need better programming with my bench and deadlift now but my squat sucks so bad (femur long as my spine lol) and I think I can still add 10 more kilos with linear prog. for like 2 cycles for squat. Still want to do sheiko routines. Do you guys and Mr. Bromley suggest that? 255kg deadlift vs 175-185 squat btw.

    • @Jmack7861
      @Jmack7861 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don’t do sheiko any time soon. Continue linear progression for squats if you think you can get something out of it. If you want to run sheiko eventually then you’ll need to work your way up to it. A good second program to get yourself used to more volume is ivysaur 4-4-8. After that Nsuns 5/3/1: I am aware and saw bromleys review on it- but I think he was missing a couple key points about the reason for/philosophy of the program. It’s an anti stronglifts/starting strength program that is used to acclimate people to much higher volume programs. So it’s a great program to get your work capacity and tolerance for higher volumes up (which depending on the route you take later in your career could possibly set you up for more progress in the future depending on the programming styles you use after).

      I used the Sheiko template once then did building monolith then been using the Sheiko AI app. I did AML. The thing is so much repetition of these movements mostly the excessive bench will fuck up ya shoulders. You definitely got to incorporate a lot of face pulls and maybe alter it where u doing different movements conjugate style. Like take the second bench press movement and do flies or dumbbell press instead. I didn’t do that the first time. I got real strong but I felt beat up.
