One set. Total failure. Real growth.
SlowStrong guides you through a program based on Mike Mentzer's published method: a strict 4-2-4 rep cadence, a 96-hour recovery clock and automatic progressive overload. Less time in the gym. More muscle.

Why most programs stall you
Volume programs assume more is better. Past the point of failure, extra sets only drain the recovery you need to grow.

Everything you need, in one app
Heavy Duty
One all-out set per exercise at a slow 4-2-4 tempo, with a spoken count. Based on Mike Mentzer's published method.
Recovery countdown
A 96-hour clock (a little longer from age 40) shows when you are ready again, and warns you if you try to train too soon.
Automatic progression
Reach the top of your rep range and the app adds weight next time. Otherwise it asks for one more rep.
Home Gym and Gym plans
A free 90-day home plan with or without equipment, plus beginner to advanced gym programs with photos of every lift.
Nutrition that adjusts
Calorie and protein targets from your body and goal, a simple food log, and a weekly check that adjusts to your real results.
A logbook that explains itself
Every set, your best lifts, a training calendar, body weight and measurements, all on one screen.
