I've used this program several times in the last few years after seeing a comment here on HN.
I started at 49, 55 now, no serious weight lifting experience prior, just basic exercises.
Worked up from the empty bar. My max on squat has been about 260, and deadlift about 310. Various injuries from prior to lifting keep that about as high as I go.
I supplement with swimming on non-lift days during the week, yoga and walking on most weekends.
Been a boon to overall fitness, have done long distance backpacking and canoeing (90 miles just this summer) with my oldest son's scout troop. Just last week did a one day 50 mile ride with my youngest son.
The app makes it a game that helps with the commitment, I get up at 4:30 to carve out the time each day.
