Sheiko program training order?

[ShadowWolfe]

Is there any protocol to what order the Sheiko nubmers should be run? I see a lot of people recommend 29/37/32. But theres a lot more programs than those 3.

Those 3 will suffice for a year at least then branch out to others if needed or make your own

OP, it seems that #29 and then #37 is recommended because that's what Eric Talmant recommended over at EliteFTS. People do eventually (after gaining experience) make their routine. For example, Butty over at Manhaven Project ran #37, #31, #40, #32.

I question this source before of this:
"What I have deduced is that #29, #29 version 2, #30 and #31 are preparatory cycles."
"Cycles #37, #39 and #40 are preparatory cycles that are more advanced than #29-#31."

#37 more advanced than #30? You don't hit 85% of your 1RM in #37 until week 4 and the volume is way less but in #30 you hit 85% of your 1RM in the first week plus you hit some squat singles and the volume is the highest out of the numbered routines. Not sure what makes #37 more advanced.

so there really is no set order these programs should be run? I recall seeing somewhere on BB.com a long time ago someone put in order of volume the programs. I cant find the post anymore, but it listed them from least volume to most volume.

When do you cycle in 30,40,31? I always see 29/37/32.

Some people at BMF Sheiko said that #30 and #40 are for Class 1 lifters (I'm assuming they're using the Russian classification chart since this is a Russian program).

Here's the classification chart:

The amount of reps in each cycle:
#32, 543 reps
#39, 921 reps
#29, 981 reps
#37, 1110 reps
#31, 1136 reps
#40, 1220 reps
#30, 1257 reps

A handy little thing from a site:

How do I run multiple consecutive cycles of Sheiko?
Sheiko cycles have periodized volume. There are multiple ways you can 'stack' them.
You could run the same cycle consecutively, as in #29, #29, #29, etc.
Or you can modulate volume by going through different cycles:
- increasing volume for 3 cycles, then a peaking cycle at the end: #29, #37, #40, #32.
- modulating volume up and down, then a peaking cycle: #29, #37, #39, #32
- increasing volume for 3 high volume cycles, then a peaking cycle: #37, #40, #30, #32
- and so on...

How you cycle the programs, ultimately, is up to you.

It was recommended to me that I do 29, 30, 31 and then 37, in that order.

Now that I've done that, I just started 37 again.

How was it? How long did that last?

Any advice as to where to find program specifics?

29/30/31/32
29/37/37/37

If you are not close to a meet there is no point in running 32. I can tell you from experience that 30 and especially 40 are absolutely brutal. I would do #29 first and then run consecutive cycles of 37 each time raising my maxes 6.25lbs. From what I gather and I have spoken to the Sheiko God ChaseT that #37 is a more functional program than 29. Another variation is 29/30/31 and then on to 37. There are a number of ways to order them but choose 40 at a later time. The guys at BMF are not as knowledgeable as you think. I have never heard of a #29 version 2 from the article.
