I've been doing SL 5x5 for the past year and here's my summary. Started last year at 175 (5'10) and probably 30%bf. Bulked and lifted to 200, squat was 285 5x5, bench was 195 5x5 DL was 1x5 at 350 Started cutting. Cut to 165, 12.5% bf over 3.5months Looked pretty good but wanted to be bigger Lost a lot of strength from the cut. Have started slowly bulking, currently at 175 13.5% bf, squat is 225, bench is 165, dl 285
Lately I've been feeling fucking bored to tears at the gym and for the first time I skipped an entire week. Not sure how to get back into it. Anyone experience anything similar? Or have tips?
Switch to Madcow or Texas. It's what the SL guy recommends. You're not a beginner anymore

Do some unconventional lifts or choose something else to progress and get good at. How many strict pullups can you do? Get those up and then add weight. Do different shit for legs like lunges. Switch to front squats for awhile.

Stop doing SL then, it sounds like you're bored of the program. Spice it up, do a split, experiment. Find what works for you and something you enjoy.

Seriously, someone explain that picture. Image search only gives meme versions of it, but no source or context.

You stop being begginer in an exercise if you can't add weight every training. OP just change routine, more than a few moths on begginers program is too long.
