edit- you said originally
how much of a deficit?
are your lifts going up?0 -
What's your routine look like? lifts/weights/reps0
-
squat- 50 lbs 5x5
deadflift-100 lbs 5x5
row- 20 lbs 5x5
press- 40 5x5
and please do not say go heavier because this is still heavy for me0 -
I hate lifting too, it's not fun for me. I still strength train because I know it's important, I just do yoga or pilates instead,0

is pilates considered strength training?0 -

I also HATE lifting...it's so boring to me to do the same repetitive motion over and over again. I prefer body weight exercises like pilates also. I started p90x3 about a month ago and like that wayyy better. It can also be argued that exercises like that are better for you because the movements target a variety of muscles versus just one with traditional weight lifting.0 -

You're doing it wrong!0

have you tried different types of lifts like barbell military press etc0

If you hate it, do something else. Lifting isn't the end-all, be-all. However, it is generally the quickest way to a better body, especially if you're over 30.
I've been following SL for 5 months. I am definitely seeing results. But I'm doing a recomp, so that may be different.0 -
How often do you lift? What did you start with? How's your form? Are you doing anything else besides these workouts?
Give us a little bit to work with so we can offer advice...0 -
I don't know anything about the stronglifts program, but I suspect if you are doing the same exercises every time for 3 months you may get a bit stronger but you probably won't see results. Can you mix it up a bit and do variations of these exercises?0

So.... in order words, you enjoy those because it's easier than lifting heavy weights.0 -
No ones asked; how's your diary looking? Usually when one says something doesn't work, nutrition is usually a major factor in that. Slight deficit isn't an answer.0

With what weights did you start?
What has your weight done over the past 4 weeks?0 -
squat- 50 lbs 5x5
deadflift-100 lbs 5x5
row- 20 lbs 5x5
press- 40 5x5
and please do not say go heavier because this is still heavy for me
How many reps can you do before you fail (drop the weight)?0 -
No results usually means that either lack of effort is being applied (bad form, lack of resistance or intensity) or something is up with your intake.
I've heard this from clients before they start with me, then when they actually workout with all the corrections results appear.

You're either lifting with not enough intensity, not progressing in strength or work done, or your diet is totally off. Isolate and fix.0
