I'm still doing the r/fitness beginner workout and I have liked it up till now. I love the simplicity of it. The think I am struggling with is squats because of my limited flexibility but I am making progress!
But at the moment I am starting to stall on my lifts so I am thinking of switching to a 531 program, perhaps the beginner one from the wiki. I have run it before and liked it but had to stop lifting because life got in the way.
The thing I do dislike about 531 is constantly having to adjust the weight on the bar. I like to set it once for my warmup and once for the actual lifts but I think I can live with it.
Might run one cycle soon and see if I still like it.
I looked it up and seems solid. Hope the flexibility gets sorted for you. It took me forever to squat to depth. I remember watching Kelly Starrett videos and doing a bunch of rolling with a lacrosse ball haha.
Yeah, doing load changes on the bar are a pain. Especially for deadlifts. Once you decide to switch over you should do a write up!
