STRENGTH TRAINING
The Starting Strength Method
Discover the last training method you’ll ever need to learn how to get stronger and muscular.
The Starting Strength Method
Starting Strength is a method for developing physical strength through basic compound barbell exercises.
It offers the most comprehensive systematic analysis of the physics of human movement in existence. When performed correctly, it is the most effective approach to maximizing strength acquisition.
No other sport or training method can produce the same strength results as quickly and safely.
A Method That Focuses on Measurable, Irrefutable Progress
If you can’t measure it, you can’t tell whether you’ve made gains.
Unlike other training methods like Yoga, TRX, or bodyweight training, where progress is subjective, here we have numbers, weights, and irrefutable gains.
A Method That Values Precise Movement, Based on a Predetermined Model
Just like throwing a baseball or kicking a ball, there are efficient ways to perform these motor patterns, and inefficient, potentially dangerous ones.
This isn't just another workout regimen that leaves you tired and sweaty; it’s a gradual progression of learning to move correctly and gaining strength along the way. Mastering this method takes time, but it’s the most worthwhile accomplishment.
A Proven Step-by-Step Methodology, with Systematic Teaching and Coaching Methods
A deep and extensive toolbox was developed to help individuals of all motor abilities, unlike anything else in the fitness industry.
As Starting Strength Certified Coaches we teach you how to move correctly.
We then coach you to perfect all the cues gradually, ensuring you maintain good form as the weight increases. This method guarantees progress, workout after workout, step by step.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does it mean to be a certified Starting Strength Coach?
A certified Starting Strength Coach has successfully completed rigorous evaluations and certification processes. While other trainers may use the Starting Strength method, a certified coach has the credentials and expertise to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.
How does a workout in the Starting Strength Method look like?
From the outside, it may appear as a regular barbell training workout, consisting of 3-5 exercises with a barbell, performing a low number of reps and sets per exercise. The difference that makes the difference is by perfecting the execution of each exercise and gradually increasing the load, leading to steady strength gains.
Can I really get stronger without getting injured?
Yes, by following the Starting Strength Method’s Movement Model. This method emphasizes proper form and progressive loading, significantly reducing the risk of injuries while consistently building strength and muscle mass.
What is the Starting Strength Method?
The Starting Strength Method is a highly effective and efficient approach to strength training that focuses on performing compound lifts with proper form and progressively increasing weights. Read more here.
Why isn't my current workout routine making me stronger?
Many popular workout routines focus on general exertion rather than strength gains. To achieve real progress, it’s crucial to follow a proven strength training method like Starting Strength, which emphasizes proper form and incremental load increases.
How quickly can I expect to see results?
Results vary depending on individual abilities and dedication to learning the barbell lifts correctly. Many trainees start to notice improvements in their strength and technique within the first few weeks. Continuous, dedicated effort will yield the best results over time.
