THE 5x5 PROGRAMME
The most effective beginner and intermediate strength programme, proven since the 1960s. Three workouts per week, five compound exercises, progressive overload built in. LiftStrong alternates between Workout A (Squat, Bench Press, Barbell Row) and Workout B (Squat, Overhead Press, Deadlift) automatically.
SMART PROGRESSION
Complete all your reps? The weight goes up next session — +2.5kg for upper body, +5kg for deadlift. Fail three times in a row? The app deloads by 10% so you recover and rebuild. No thinking required.
