So I was seeing some good progress with starting strength but I just got tired of it and it isn't something I can hype myself to go to the gym anymore to. I need a new workout so I can look forward to something new and something that will show results. If anyone has a good workout regimen, please let me know!

Sick and Tired of Starting Strengths, need a new regimen.
If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.
You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you, you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.
The greatest achievement was at first, and for a time, but a dream.

If that's your reasoning, you're only going to get bored again, no matter what program you choose...
Typically, you won't see everything a program has to offer you until at least several months in.

True, the main reason I don't want to do SS right now is because I haven't workout out in awhile and its annoying to see how much my progress deteriated.Originally Posted by MichaelCJ

Either way though, there are plenty of options. If you know what your goals are, you can go from there. allpro's beginner program, for example, is one I would recommend if you're a budding bodybuilder or the like, or even if you want a more gradual pace of weight progression, but more aesthetic (i.e., muscle) balance overall. Starting Strength (along with a bunch of others, like Bill Starr's or WS4SB) might be better for someone in sports of whatever kind, say. Or, arguably, simply for some rapid strength gains that cover most of the body well, and the rest more or less okay - a "blunt instrument", if you will.
And yeah, I understand that thing about breaks - it sucks. But, whichever way you decide to go about it, you just have to get straight back on it, ASAP. If strength/fitness/aesthetics/sport/other is important to you, I mean...

It really doesn't matter what program you choose at this point. You need to sort out your mental toughness issue. So you got derailed? You were seeing results.
1. Suck it up
2. Stow the ego
3. Lift hard.
4. ????
5. Profit.

Starting Strength WILL show results. If you want something new and fun, try zumba.Originally Posted by WannaGetJACKED

I find hitting PR's 3x a week hypes me up enough. Keep going mate.
