Yo buff dudes!
I've been doing weight lifting off and on and off for about 3 years, the latest stint has been for about a year.
I train x3 times a week doing Stronglifts compound lifts, apart from squats which I'm shite at and I do other leg exercises.
I really think that I've reached some pathetically low limits as I'll soon have de-loaded 3 times on most lifts. I've tried some variations e.g. when I can do 5x5 easily at a weight I sometimes do 3x5 at bigger weights or reduce the recovery.
The aim was to get stronger and to do some sort of exercise as I'd got bored of running and was getting too skinny. I don't think that I'm ever going to get any better at anything now as I'm in my mid 40s.
Is it better for me just to maintain at what I can do and maybe throw in some variations or assistance work to alleviate any boredom? If I want more gains I will probably need to eat more.
Should I try something radically different? A colleague suggested more volume and less weight.
Shall I just ogle the young birds instead and pretend to do weight training?
Thanks.
