Hello,
2025 was the first year I started exercising consistently again after awhile. I did the Reddit Beginner Routine then tried 5/3/1 which was too much volume for me(felt like I was overtraining), and then I jumped into GZCLP. I have not been tracking my lifts on paper as well as my calories, but I feel like I need to do more. I have been adding in my own conditioning. I bought the Barbell Medicine Beginner Routine some years back, and I feel it would be good to do it. I do not think it will be too easy, and it will establish a good base. I also recently strained my SI joint so I am going to start light with anything squat and deadlift related. I think this program will add more discipline for me and allow me to reach my best. I also want to lose some weight to do 3 sets of 10 pullups and dips cleanly and easily. Should I continue with GZCLP or Barbell Medicine Beginner? Thoughts? Thanks.
