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.

      I’ve been lifting semi-consistently for about half a year this year. Prior to this it’s been extremely inconsistent but I’ve been taking it more seriously. I haven’t maxed out my newbie gains yet, though, but some workouts are a pain in the ass to do, specifically bench press.

          Sorry for the super late reply, I don’t check my notifications. But it’s a pain because I don’t really make any progress. I get tired way too quickly which doesn’t happen with other workouts. Like I’ll do 2 sets of 5 reps at 50-60 pounds and I’m already fatigued and can’t do anymore. Possibly a form issue.
