Starting Strength Indianapolis

Nutrition doesn't matter much in the beginning of any training program, but very quickly, it matters a lot.

If you don't prepare accordingly, you won't finish your workouts and get the benefit from getting the work done.

One aspect of nutrition is fueling your workouts themselves.

As a very general rule - protein is for recovery. Carbs and fat are for energy.

Fast carbs (like simple sugars) are a great way to fuel your workouts when used right. Check out the video to learn more!

Strength being "functional" has become a poplar concept in recent years. It's the idea that you're doing movements in the gym that prepare you for life outside the gym.

Lots of our members start because their parents haven't been doing great physically, and they decided "I can't be like that when I get to their age."

We guide our members through strength training to make sure they're doing it right and getting the most benefit from the movements and the process.

Strength training is an investment plan for your body. Get strong now, maintain it, and you'll live better as you age and stay independent, healthy, and safe.

If your press is stalling, it might not be that you're not strong enough. Your technique (set up specifically) but be the problem.

Tabitha joined so she would feel better and age well as she got older - and so she could keep playfully beating up her kids who are a foot taller than her.

After a six months of training, she has hit an exciting milestone: her first 200lb deadlift. The weight on the bar is important, because that's how we get stronger for daily life. Not just to hit cool milestones. Go !
