Leave a Review StrongLifts Weight Lifting Log
Great for the whole family!
My 17 year old son has joined the US Navy, but doesn’t ship out until November 2018. He’s a slender guy, and wants to pack on some muscle before he ships, so my husband and I got a set of free weights for him in November 2017. Searching the Internet for how skinny guys gain weight, I came across StrongLifts and downloaded the app. It was laid out so well for absolute beginners that it encouraged me (female, 40s, not skinny lol) to start lifting. Now my whole family, to include my husband (also in his 40s), our 17 year old son and our 15 year old daughter all lift weights 3x a week. We’re all getting stronger, but not killing ourselves.
I’ve not lost weight yet, but I see more definition in my arms and legs, and my jeans are fitting looser, so I’m thrilled! I highly recommend this app to anyone that wants to start lifting weights!Show lessSiroccoDream
Highly recommend!!
I am a 47 year old man. I’ve never lifted before in my life. I was out of shape and overweight. I started the StrongLifts 5x5 workout four months ago. My personal results have been phenomenal so far. The transformation of my body has been nothing short of amazing. I’ve gained way more muscle than I expected in this short of a time. I still have stubborn visceral fat that I am trying to lose so I recently added HIIT on the rowing machine on my off days. I can’t wait to see where I’m at in another four months!!!! Thank you for this workout!!! And the App makes it so much easier than trying to keep track of everything yourself. Do yourself a favor and start the StrongLifts workout, download this app, and once you see how awesome it is, upgrade to the paid version. Very well might be the best ten bucks I’ve ever spent in my life; literally!!Show lessAhiddenagenda
Almost perfect.
After using this app for three weeks, i have found it to be almost perfect. The lifts are great. The user interface is easy navigate and to use. Very well laid out.
The only reason for 4 stars is this...
I feel that warming up is an integral part of lifting. Not warming up I feel can be counterproductive, even dangerous.
I think the warmup sets should be included without paying. I understand that the developer and others deserve to be paid, that's their right. But it can be dangerous to not warmup. I think from a safety perspective, this should be included. I'm okay with all other features being locked until paid for. I would rather have warmup sets instead of the timer. The timer is a great feature. Why not put that behind the paywall, and swap it for warmup sets?
Again, that's the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
This app is great.
Update 11:20:17
This app now syncs with apple health. The help and feedback i received from the dev was prompt and helpful. They even replied back just to check and see if an update solved my issue. It did! So now the app is closer to being perfect. 5 stars for being a perfect as they can get.Show lessJfhvjoefb oje four wrou.
Favorite lifting app
I really like how easy this app makes tracking my lifting. I open up the days workout and jump into a warmup and I can just listen to my music and wait for the chime. I like that it breaks down how much weight to load onto the barbell for each lift and how easy it is to record a set. With the upgraded paid version the ability to incorporate accessory work has also been a worthwhile feature for myself. I can target some corresponding accessory work and still be done in under and hour and on my merry way.
For a while the app was having a hard time communicating with my Apple Watch but that seems to be resolved now. If you are looking for a simple program that is easy and fun to follow this is a strong contender.Show lessAnthony Massoll
Great App
This is a really helpful app and I do recommend getting the power pack as well. I feel that I have had better gains using this program that going at it with my own way of doing things. This program not only guides you with what you should be doing each workout session, but you don’t spend as much time doing different things that were actually working against getting stronger.
With the power pack I am able to add all of my weight equipment and the app calculates exactly what needs to go on the bar for each workout. Using the app also helps you to stay on track with your strength gain goals by automatically increasing the weights after each successful completion. With the power pack it will also feed Apple Health with your calorie expenditure for each workout.Show lessTimbo0821
