THE START12 WEEKS LATER
Damian’s 12-week transformation with the bodyweight routine that inspired BareStrength
My own experience. The inspiration for BareStrength.
Simple bodyweight training + a calorie deficit.

A NOTE FROM DAMIAN, THE FOUNDER

A simple plan.
A stronger me.

My coach helped me see what I was missing: a simple plan I could stick with. I stopped chasing the perfect routine, kept showing up and worked through the progressions.

That’s me, 12 weeks apart. Squats, pull-ups and handstand push-ups, alongside a calorie deficit of roughly 500–800 calories a day.

That lesson became BareStrength: the same squat, push and pull foundation, with your workout, reps and next targets handled.

FOUNDER, BARESTRENGTH

01 / THE ROUTINE

Tired of
starting over?

You want to get stronger. But a plan that asks too much of your week is hard to keep. BareStrength gives you squat, push and pull in about ten minutes, with your next target handled.

01LOWER BODY

Squat

From assisted squats to single-leg variations.

1 BUILD-UP SET1 WORKING SET
02UPPER BODY

Push

From wall push-ups to more demanding variations.

1 BUILD-UP SET1 WORKING SET
03UPPER BODY

A progression matched to the equipment you have.

1 BUILD-UP SET1 WORKING SET

Short sessions. Real effort. Your working set ends when you can’t do another rep with clean technique.

02 / AUTOMATIC PROGRESSION

Keep the routine.
Raise the challenge.

Log your reps. BareStrength sets your next target and moves you to harder exercises as you improve. You always know what to work toward.

03 / BUILT AROUND REAL LIFE

Simple enough to keep.
Hard enough to grow.

Short sessions make room for consistency. Hard working sets and progression give that consistency a purpose: getting stronger, one workout at a time.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Before you
get started.

Something else on your mind?
Ask Damian

Is this a good place to start again?

Yes. During setup, you choose your equipment and starting exercise levels. Each movement has a progression, from simpler variations to more demanding ones. You can adjust your level in the app. BareStrength is built for people who want a straightforward strength routine, including those returning after a break.

Can a short workout really be challenging?

Short describes the session, not the effort. A full workout has one build-up set and one hard working set for each movement. The app uses your logged reps to set your next target. A 2021 research review found that low-volume strength training can improve strength and recommended compound movements for time-efficient sessions. That supports the general approach; it was not a test of BareStrength’s ten-minute routine. Your progress depends on your starting point, effort, consistency and recovery.

Do I need a pull-up bar?

You can start without one. The app has different pulling exercises for no equipment, a sturdy table, or a pull-up bar. The no-equipment and table options have shorter progressions; a bar opens up the full pulling ladder. Some squat and push variations also use a wall, chair or other sturdy support.

Will I get the same results as the photos?

The photos show the experience that inspired BareStrength: 12 weeks of simple bodyweight training, mainly squats, pull-ups and handstand push-ups, alongside a roughly 500–800-calorie daily deficit. The app builds on the same squat, push and pull approach. Your own progress will depend on your starting point, training, nutrition and consistency.

Why subscribe if the routine is simple?

Simplicity is the point. You keep a routine you know, while the app handles the details that change: your exercise levels, previous reps, next targets, rest timer and workout history. Less planning each session, with a clear next step to work toward. All features are included in either subscription.

What happens after the free trial?

Choose a monthly or annual subscription in the iPhone app to begin your 7-day free trial, subject to Apple’s trial eligibility. After the trial, your plan renews automatically at $4.99/month or $39.99/year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Prices are in USD; your local price appears in the app before you subscribe. Manage or cancel in iPhone Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.

What if I miss a workout or only have five minutes?

Come back when you can and continue from your saved exercise levels. The app also includes a Light Day: one set per movement, about five minutes, without changing your progression. Aim for three sessions a week with recovery between full workouts.

Does it need an account or an internet connection?

No account is required. Your workout history stays on your device, and you can log workouts offline. Exercise videos open on YouTube and need an internet connection. Subscription setup and purchase restoration also require a connection.

KEEP IT SIMPLE. KEEP IT GOING.
