Been doing starting strength for a while and I’m tired of it. I get slightly stronger but that doesn’t really mean much to me. I’d like to see some physical changes in my body. But there’s so much crap out there it’s hard to choose where to move on from here. I’m eyeing 5/3/1 right now but I prefer not to read like 50 pages before being able to lift some weights.
Don't think, just lift. Seriously. Some lifting is better than no lifting, and if you want to build more in other areas you can add exercises and change your routine around, but just training consistently is the most important thing.
That’s a good point. Sometimes I get so demotivated that I don’t even go even though it’s beneficial for me to do so even without the ideal progress.
Yeah, the same thing happens to me. I think I put a lot of pressure on myself to adopt the perfect routines, but just jumping straight into a highly organised routine from not doing anything is impossible for me; I have to start slowly.
At a certain point just doing one session a week starts to feel like slacking off a bit, and that's when you'll think "okay, I need to step up a bit."
