FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Starting Strength coaching and training
What is Starting Strength?
Starting Strength is a systematic method of strength training developed by Mark Rippetoe. It focuses on the fundamental barbell movements (squat, press, deadlift, bench press) and progressive overload to build strength efficiently and effectively.
Do I need experience to start?
No experience is necessary. The Starting Strength method is excellent for beginners, as it teaches proper form and technique from the ground up. Many of my clients start with no prior barbell training experience.
What's the difference between in-person and online coaching?
In-person coaching includes hands-on form instruction and real-time feedback during training sessions. Online coaching includes program design, video form checks, regular communication, and program adjustments. Both are effective—choose what works best for your schedule and location.
What equipment do I need?
For in-person coaching, we'll use the equipment at the gym. For online coaching, you'll need access to a barbell, plates, squat rack, and bench. I can help you find suitable facilities or set up a home gym if needed.
How often should I train?
Training frequency depends on your experience level and goals. Beginners typically train 3 times per week, while more advanced programs may vary. Your program will be customized to fit your schedule and recovery capacity.
Is this suitable for older adults?
Absolutely. Strength training is beneficial at any age. The Starting Strength method is particularly effective for older adults looking to maintain independence, improve bone density, and enhance quality of life. Programs are adapted to individual needs and limitations.
