The Lift to Start Method

Nine weeks that build on each other

A simple path for people who are new to lifting or starting again: learn the movements, build the habit, then get strong.

Consistency beats intensity

Learn it, then load it

Every week moves forward

The Lift to Start Method

Nine weeks. Three phases. One direction.

Every program follows the same path, adjusted to your schedule, your equipment and where you are starting from.

Weeks 1–3

Foundation

  • Learn the six movements every strong body uses
  • A benchmark workout in week one, so you know where you started
  • Build the habit before the load

Weeks 4–6

Builder Phase

  • Add weight week by week, tracked in the app
  • Three to five sessions a week, with at least one rest day
  • Form checks on video

Weeks 7–9

Rise

  • Heavier, more confident lifts
  • Retake the benchmark in week nine and see the change
  • Plan your next nine weeks

What a week looks like

Small, steady, repeatable

01

Train 3 to 5 days

Full-body sessions of 45 to 60 minutes, planned around the days you actually have, with at least one rest day.

02

Log as you go

Sets, reps and weights go in the app, so every week can build on the last.

03

Check in weekly

A two-minute check-in on sleep, energy and wins. Your coach reads every one.

04

Recover on purpose

Rest days and walks are part of the plan. Progress happens between sessions too.

The foundation

Six movements every strong body uses

Every program is built from these, with the version that suits your body and your equipment.

01

Squat

Sitting down and standing up, made strong.

02

Hinge

Picking things up from the floor without fear.

03

Push

Pressing weight away from you, overhead and in front.

04

Pull

Rows and pull-downs for a strong back and good posture.

05

Lunge

One leg at a time, for balance and real-life strength.

06

Carry

Walking with weight. Simple, and harder than it looks.
