Contact StrongLifts Weight Lifting Log Support

by Jimbobourbon

Immediate buyers remorse. The ads led me to believe the subscription would open a ton of extra features. Nope! Only allows two workouts with a very limited number of exercises. Granted, you can create your own, but for a recurring subscription, this is hot garbage. The workouts are not easily modifiable. Based on my previous lifts, it gave me the weight to lift for my workout. The weight was comically light. The entire workout didn’t even make me break a sweat. It was a fraction of my normal warm-up. Maybe this stuff is changeable somehow, but I don’t have an hour to figure out a poorly designed, clunky app. They don’t offer a trial, because nobody would ever subscribe after. The only legit feature is the plate “calculator” for those that can’t do basic math.

Hoping I can get a refund.

R: Yeah, thanks, but I’m already familiar with the 5x5 method. In fact, I’m already doing the 5x5 method, which is why I was so excited to find this app and why I was so disappointed to waste money on this clunky garbage. Your workout isn’t the end all, be all of workouts. Mine might be better. What if I want to rotate between 3 workouts or what if I want to deadlift every day. The lack of custom options for a paid subscription is wicked frustrating.

Bottom line up front, this app is all you need. It’s obvious it was made by someone that actually lifts. The interface is clean and workflow is set up in such a way that maximizes the weight moved as efficiently as possible. No more endless typing in sets, reps, and weights. You just tap and move on to the next. You literally don’t have to think. This lets you stay focused on moving weight. All that said this app has plenty of customization. If you can build a program with pencil and paper or a spreadsheet, then you can pretty much build it in stronglifts. There are plenty of 5x5 variations built in with each having multiple templates. You shouldn’t get bored. Your workout data is stored locally or can optionally be synced with the cloud. You can also export the data and do all kinds of spreadsheet metric and chart analysis. Every exercise has both text and video instructions of how to perform with proper form. There are also plenty of supplemental exercises to utilize to work around injuries or issues. In addition to being a great app, you also basically get a coach in your pocket. You can choose to receive Mehdi’s daily email, which I highly recommend, that covers all aspects of lifting with actual reference scientific studies from his decades of experience. He will also personally respond to questions and offer advice. Overall, subscribe or buy; you won’t have regrets.

This is a tremendous product that just keeps getting better and better. Additionally, the support and service from the StrongLifts team is outstanding! I’ve been using this app for many years, and it does exactly as promised. It does the thinking for you and allows you to focus your time and energy on lifting and getting a better workout. I have been lifting for more than 40 years and I received daily emails from the StrongLifts team that are both educational and inspirational. I just can’t recommend this app enough. Even after using the app for many years I signed up for the one year subscription last year because of all the flexibility, it allows you. Not only flexibility in regards to the workouts that are provided but in customizing your own workouts, so that you have everything in one place to include workout history, notes and your next workout planned and ready to go. if you’re trying to decide between the subscription or the lifetime membership, I would recommend saving money and going with a lifetime membership. This app is just that comprehensive and will serve you for many many years to come.
