I’ll second this. I’ve recently begun StrongLifts 5x5 and it has changed my appearance and strength so quickly as to defy my most optimistic expectations. I’ve been a daily runner for years, rarely skipping a day, and forgot the joy of trying something totally new and greedily getting all the early, low hanging gains.

Stronglifts 5x5 is super easy to start with and I’d highly recommend it.

Also done Stronglift 5x5 and similar before it, and it's great. Before that, I was at one point up to 1h30m per session, and the extra time in the gym added surprisingly little. It's so much easier to stay consistent with a program that's so simole and limited.
