Makes it so easy
I love this app, tells me everything I need to do, works great with Apple Watch
Fantastic
This app was just what I needed at a difficult time in my life. It allowed me to build the best physique I’ve ever had, in my 40s, and in turn improve my mental health. The simplicity of it makes it a joy to use and encourages you to keep tracking those lifts. There are so many programmes out there spouting nonsense about high rep isolated exercises that simply do not work without performance enhancing drugs. Stronglifts 5x5 is the real deal for natural lifters! It allowed me to see results in 3 months, incredible changes in 9. Five years later it is an integral part of my life. I just can’t recommend enough.

My thoughts
Hi there! To anyone wanting to start taking their strength seriously, we’ll look no further because this is the program for you. No need to create work outs for your routine because 5x5 has all you need in this nifty package, and the pro subscription makes it even easier to track the plates, progress and even switch between different styles of 5x5. Get it, it’s great! I have used this program off and on but always seem to come back and exact great results!
One thing I wish for is reccomended meal plans, reccomended calories needed to reach goals, and more workout routines. I know the bridge routine (barbell medicine) is not apart of 5x5 but I think the merits are valuable to use. I wish we could also track at what intensity we used worked out at (7-10, 7 being two or more reps could have been squeezed in to complete the set, and ten being nearly squeaked out that last rep.) it does mention volume but I wish it had more of an active role in my workouts.
Keep it up guys! Its great!

Nice app
Nice apps but will be better if we were able to change some lifts (for example : barbell row for Power Clean that i prefer). Moreover, more flexibility with the number of reps and set would be nice. There is no option to do 3 reps for 5 set as an example.
Strong lift app!
The best simple app to build muscle and strength!
Excellent app, well supported
I’ve been using this app for years. You can just install it and go work out, or customize it for all your needs. It keeps you on track to rest and start the next set. It’s also regularly updated and superbly supported by a developer who clearly works out, and cares about fellow weightlifters.
Must have, Legendary App!!!! 👍🏼💪🏻⚡️
Returning lifter here. Been into lifting for about 35 years (time flies!). The StrongLifts App is the most intuitive, uncluttered and simple to use App out there, bar none.
There are many others, but none have managed to synthesize the essential elements of lifting the way Mehdi & Team have. This one will keep you engaged and motivated for the rest of your lifting career.
The principles used are time-tested and will ensure progress in strength and fitness for anyone that uses the programs consistently, regardless of age, etc.
Mehdi’s optional daily emails help dial in all other aspects (diet, etc.) and are unique in their entertaining, well researched/referenced and straight-to-the-point style.
Simple on the surface, but extremely well thought out under the hood, it offers enough variety and options for a lifetime of results in the gym. Super stable app, quality esthetics, and responsive, lightning quick support. The fee is a pittance for what you get in return.
What are you waiting for? Get the Pro version asap and begin the journey of transforming your body, health and life!

Only the strong survive.
To start, I’d like to think Mehdi for creating this highly functional app. It’s made his effective routine much more easy to do when struggling to get through those final sets.
I’m currently leaning out and getting solid at the same time. My lifts are way up.
The if your goal is to put strength and muscle… buy the app!
Cheers,
Roberto Buell

The best strength training app
The best one, and the (actually) free version is BY FAR the best free app of its kind.
Winky Syncing with Apple Watch
Syncing with Apple Watch has improved since the latest updates but still not stable enough.
Response from developer
Already fixed on the latest version. Update and confirm it work. If you need help, email me at support@stronglifts.com
