Starting Strength Works for Everyone, Every Time it is Applied Correctly
The Best Way to Do Starting Strength
See a World-Class Coach 3x/week
Doing the program correctly means executing the lifts with perfect form, knowing which lifts to perform, how much weight to use, how much weight to add the next workout, and how to recover from each training session.
The best way to do Starting Strength is to see a coach in person, three times a week - and you can now do that for around $25 per session.

"Exercising" Isn't Enough - Which is Why We Train
Make Rapid, Measurable Progress
Exercising is what people do at standard commercial gyms. It's moving for the sake of moving. If performed safely, it is better than being sedentary, but it does not result in long-term, continual progress.
Training is the process of organizing exercises and recovery into a system to make progress incrementally, on a predictable schedule. It's the opposite of random. It's measurable. It's planned. It's goal oriented.
We train for strength because getting strong improves every aspect of physical performance, including conditioning. And Starting Strength is the fastest way to get strong.
INCREASED BACK STRENGTH OFTEN REDUCES BACK PAIN
See What Back Pain Sufferers Have to Say
"Long story short, I'm now living my life with confidence. I'm a capable father and husband.”
At 39, Rob couldn't tie his shoes due to debilitating back pain, let alone pick up his kids. His lower back pain started early in his 30s and was getting progressively worse. After nine months of Starting Strength, Rob now lives his life with confidence as a capable father and husband.
Rob started with a 135lbs deadlift and nine months later deadlifted 330lbs for a set of five. Read his testimonial, here.
“I received a diagnosis of 4 bulging discs...I began the Starting Strength program. It changed my life."
At 46, Cory had been suffering with lower back pain for years. After being bedridden for a month, an orthopedist told her to expect a lifetime of pain with no physical activity except for walking. She was defeated and depressed. After seeing a Starting Strength Coach and carefully learning the squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press, Cory is now leaner, more muscular, pain-free and is living a healthy, active life. Read her testimonial, here.
"I fell over twenty feet from a roof...We were convinced by doctors that life was going to be spent in a wheelchair or behind a walker"
When asked what advice he has for others facing similar challenges, Brian stated, “You have to be patient with yourself and your body when you are doing something like this. However, don’t confuse patience with accepting anything less than your best effort for that day. Always push yourself. Always make a difference. Never cheat yourself out of the opportunity to improve. We all have a limited amount of days to do this. Use them. I have no doubt that anyone who gets their mind right can accomplish, achieve, and surpass the results that I have seen. Injuries or inactivity with bones and muscles may be the reason you are where you are – your head and your heart control where you can go and what you will be.” Read his detailed case study, here.
