Chances are high that you won't have access to bumper plates, so this works better than starting strength.

I loved it. I got up to 2x bodyweight deadlifts in about 6 months.

5/3/1 or madcow if you something more advanced. My stronger friends swear by 5/3/1.

Boo stronglifts yay 5/3/1

I plateaued on SL a couple years ago at like a 255ish squat. It’s too much volume. I’ve just repped that today as training weight after going from being out of shape. It’s also 100 times more flexible of a program. SL is just a mediocre ripoff of SS, which is still better anyway.

And on 5/3/1 you can do other poo poo on top of it since you’re only destroying your core and legs twice a week.

no I have a YMCA member (I use it for running) but I just want a regular pumping weights routine IE bench presses

5/3/1 is only bench overhead squat and deads which should be available in a Y.

Plus you can substitute with basically any lift that is easy to load to a maximal level.

5/3/1 is my favorite by far because of the low volume despite good results, so I can do a shitload of running, swimming and other like climbing and BJJ without squatting three times a week and hating my life.
