Anyone over 40 try this program? Is it to hard on you after a certain age? I looked around it is very hard to find the routine for me for some reason I seen many different types does anyone have the routine or excel sheet or where I could get them ? I am just looking for new routines to mix up my work out I heard of this one just never tried it yet.
Thanks a bunch, Giovanni.

Giovanni, I'm 51 and did Sheiko. I found that the volume of work was too much. When I completed it my 1 rep max was still the same. I have a feeling that Boris Sheiko wrote this routine for lifters between 25 and 35 years of age. That being said, you can find the Sheiko routines at www.elitefts.com. Enter Sheiko in the search space. Good Luck. Let me know how it works. Jim

Thanks Jim,
I did allot more reading on this and yes the routine looks more built if your younger but not only that it just looks as it would tear you apart in the long run and I want something built more for long run I mean I want to power lift as long as I can so I am going to with my routine for bench and squat for dead lift I will keep using the Coan/Phillipi routine I even made my own spread sheet for that one and I get good gains from it.
Thanks for the input and information I appreciate it.
Giovanni~

And I thought the Coan/Phillipi routine would tear you apart... If you want a good starter try Dave Bates' 13 week cycle. bmfsports.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=sheiko&action=display&thread=398#There is a little wiggle room to adjust intensity or sets on a bad day. Any routine should allow for that but the goal is to hit your numbers and if you just can't do it on a regular basis you need to be honest with yourself and reassess. I have the spreadsheet if you can't get if for some reason

Same here. Just looking at it at 53 I knew it was to much for me!
