47 year old lifter

Been following this program for years. I read it probably 10 years ago and been off and on the program. I find myself always coming back to it. It works. Gets you stronger without feeling beat up. Love the teaching, love the app, love the book. It’s not for everyone but I recommend it to everyone

Ap issues

Can’t seem to get access to the latest articles on the app.

App is completely unusable

On iPhone SE Gen 3, I cannot press the save button on the intro “First Setup” screen because it is obscured by the keyboard.

Ap

No issues. Took a while to learn what was what but now it’s all good

Helpful but not flexible enough

Very helpful, but Wish you could adjust how many warm up sets you do and add an extra lift exercise when you have time to do a 4th exercise. The app has five warm up reps and I only have time for 3 so wish that could be configured in settings for each exercise type.

Keeps me on track

Keeps me on track and motivated Takes the guess work out of warm up sets. Rip is the science.

App no longer works

The app seems to be unable to make it past the initial splash screen. Have reinstalled multiple times. Same failure point.

Use it!

Great app for those looking to run the NLP.

Constantly fails to load

Gets stuck on main banner screen and login screen. No easy way to reset starting weights. Waste of $15

The best weight lifting app

Nothing compares to Starting Strength. The best strength training app I’ve ever used and the only program out there for anyone from high school athletes to Great Grand Parents. Thank you for this program and app

Best strength training apparel!!

This has been the best tool that I have for building mass and muscle, if your looking for a great app that will virtually take the guessing out of where/how to begin training and also what workouts to do then this app is it!!

Read the book. But this is great!

The book is much more digestible, but this is an AWESOME companion for when you’re training. Mark really made me see what I was doing in the past was NOT GOOD. I tried to mimic what I saw on YouTube with little knowledge. This guy has helped me get low and without pain. His years of experience really shine through his text, and this app helps the LOG stay consistent. Also great cues in here for reference when you’re thinking “how do I set up for the shoulder press?”

Great app but can’t export

Great app for following the program, telling you what weight to lift, and what to put on the bar. Biggest downside is that the export function doesn’t work so there’s no good way to look at or share progress.

Fantastic

This app is just what I needed in every respect. Goes deep into technique then simple design and easy to log workouts.

Continuously Getting Stonger

It is working for me. Age 67

Needs Flexibility

I’ve had the book for years and pulled it out again last week. I was happy to see there’s an app so I paid the $14.99 (without a trial period, of course). However, I was frustrated to see that I can’t swap out the power clean for the row, which the book explicitly says I can. I just started training again, in my garage, and am following the program, including swapping out the row in lieu of the clean. But the app doesn’t give me that option. I haven’t explored it further to see what other limitations it has, but I’ve seen other reviews that mention other particular limitations in the app that are inconsistent with the book. If this is the “official” app of the book, at least be consistent.

Perfect for me

Simple. Strict. Easy to modify weights, time, exercises. Exactly what I wanted - something without all the bells whistles. Thanks!!!

Freeze

App wont load up anymore.

Alert broken with update

There was nothing wrong with the old alert. Someone accidentally changed it on the last update to make it a dog whistle. New alert makes the app unusable. Otherwise almost perfect app.
