## What is BareStrength?

The bodyweight workout you won't quit.

Three exercises. Two sets each. Ten minutes. Three times a week. At home, no gym, no equipment (pull-up bar optional).
BareStrength is the minimum effective dose of bodyweight strength training — so short you have zero excuses not to show up.

7-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year. No account, no ads, no upsells, no hidden premium tier.

HOW IT WORKS

Every session is the same: squat, push, pull.
Three compound movements that have built real strength for thousands of people. No variation, no surprises, no decisions.

• 3 exercises per session — no fluff
• 2 sets each — one build-up set at 70%, then one all-out working set to technical failure
• ~10 minutes per workout
• 3 times per week — recovery is built in

One all-out set per exercise. No mental arithmetic about pacing. Just show up and give it everything on your working set.

BUILT-IN PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD

You can't plateau. Hit your target reps on your working set and the app advances you to a harder exercise automatically. Exercises across 3 movement patterns, organized into progressive ladders from beginner to advanced.

Beat your last rep count → target goes up by one.
Reach 8 reps on your working set → advance to a harder exercise.
One Strength Level — one number that tracks your progress across all movements, and it only goes up.

NO GYM. NO EQUIPMENT. NO EXCUSES.

Start with your body and the floor. Add a pull-up bar later to unlock the full pulling progression.

Train anywhere: bedroom, hotel room, park.

WHY IT WORKS

Inspired by the most peer-reviewed bodyweight program and proven strength programs like StrongLifts and r/bodyweightfitness — adapted for busy people who want results, not routines.

• Progressive overload — the only proven driver of strength gains
• Minimum effective dose — one all-out working set, 3× per week is all you need
• Recovery built in — muscle grows between workouts, not during them
