Recommended programs for beginners
Many beginners get stronger running one of these templates for their first six to twelve months. Pick one, stick with it, add weight when the app tells you to.
Starting Strength
A low-volume, barbell-only template that teaches the big lifts first. A solid choice if you want simple sessions and slow, steady weight jumps.
StrongLifts 5x5
Five lifts, five sets of five. The reps and rest structure stays identical session to session, which is easy to remember on day one at the rack.
Linear Progression
The underlying model behind most beginner templates: add a little weight each session, eat enough, sleep enough. Good starting frame if you want to customize your own split.
