StrongLifts Weight Lifting Log

I’ve been using StrongLifts for about a month now. I switched from Gymaholic, which I had used for years, then stopped, and when I started again, It found that app too cumbersome to set up. StrongLifts makes it super easy to just get into the gym and get started, and I love that. It also makes the process of adding weight a no-brainer. I love the progress graphs, and just about everything is perfect. I WANT to give it five stars, but there is one minor problem that I’d like to see fixed. If the dev can do that (and I think it’s a super easy fix), then I’ll be stoked to come back and leave 5-Stars. During a workout on the Apple Watch (I don’t bring my iPhone to the gym), the back arrow in the upper left hand corner of the watch face, to get back to your exercise list, is almost impossible to hit without logging a set/rest. I‘ve messed up multiple workouts because if this, which has caused the app to think that I didn’t successfully complete a set when I did, and so next time, it doesn’t add weight. If you could make that back button on the apple more functional, I’d really appreciate it, and I’ll look forward to coming back to edit my review and change it from four starts to five. Thank you for a wonderful product! I love it!

I never knew how to lift weights properly. I always felt intimidated going into a weight room and I played all the sports growing up. The StrongLifts App changed all that. I didn’t need to start with 500 lbs. I didn’t need to be a big giant. I just trusted the app, learned the proper techniques first and I got stronger and stronger. Best thing of all is I didn’t have to think about it. The app does it all. Thank you Mehdi!

App Is wonderful, but if you want to do custom workouts you have to pay for the subscription.

StrongLifts is an excellent program to start getting strong. The app is easy to use and is consistently updated with new programs. Take your time to read through the program wiki and understand it prior to starting. Additionally, there is a lot of flexibility to program your own plan. The one thing the app is lacking at this time that I would like to see added is rep progression. Currently you can only select weight or time progression.

Love StrongLifts used it years ago for a long time. Just returned to lifting after a long break. Loving the new app.

Concise. Effective.

Thank you!

Great app and program.

I love this app. I used this when I was in the marines to track my powerlifting journey, 10 years later, I’m still using it. My ONLY complaint, and the deciding factor for me moving to another app, was the Apple Watch app. It falls short in so many ways. Syncing workouts rarely works. I have to choose the workout on my phone, then keep the app on my watch AND my phone open or it’ll reset everything. I’ve completed workouts that don’t get logged, and I’ll have to go back and log them after my workout if I notice. I can’t edit the weight on the watch app. It basically does not work well if you don’t have your phone next to you to work out the kinks. It just became too frustrating and time consuming to work around certain things that I ended up switching to another workout app. Please fix it so I can come back. ☹️ this is the best workout app on the market, nothing compares. It’s simple and straight forward vs other apps have too much going on.

I have been doing this program for a little over a month, I was always pretty athletic as a young kid. About six years ago I lost my mother three years later I lost my father I lost my interest for life pretty much. Then I found 5 x 5 by Medhi wow it took a minute to sink in starting with an empty bar. I thought it was a joke but I’ve stuck with it for over a month now along with my wife and wow this is amazing and I feel great thank you Maty for all you do to bring awareness and fitness. With the times were living I want to say be safe and God bless.
