I’ve been lifting consistently for about 18 months. In that time, I did 5/3/1 for Beginners and GCZLP.

I can squat 200 5x3, bench 145 5x3. I do lower weight deadlifts because I hurt my lower back last year doing them. I avoid overhead pressing because of right shoulder impingement.

I do accessory exercises as well.

I find myself getting bored doing these exercises. I want to continue to build muscle and strength, but I am not sure what to do.

I like to run but I am working through an injury so I am progressing slowly to get back to where I was a year ago.

What do you suggest I do?

    Maybe try out calisthenics? Never been too into it outside of the basics, but its a good way to build strength and muscle without lifting weights. You should be good at long at you’re still training hard and applying progressive overload.

    I guess you’re still lifting weights, but the weight you’re lifting is your own body weight.
