You're either lifting with not enough intensity, not progressing in strength or work done, or your diet is totally off. Isolate and fix.
I second this.0 -
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,
is pilates considered strength training?
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.
So.... in order words, you enjoy those because it's easier than lifting heavy weights.
So basically you're saying people who don't like strength training are LAZY? That's why I run 10 miles at a time, because it's easy, obviously. God forbid someone actually enjoys something different then you.
And just fyi, yoga and pilates are not easy. Often I wake up sore out of my mind and feel extremely challenged.
No. I'm more so referring to the fact that "Body Weight Exercises" are also repetitive continuous movements - ie. pushups, crunches, pullups and other movements in p90x etc. They just happen to be easier than say Squats or Deadlifts at 80% of your 1rm.
Also the comment that they target a variety of different muscles, but lifting weights doesn't?
If you want to run, run. If you want to do pilates, do pilates. At least make sense when you're trying to prove a point though.0 -
You don't mention your stats, how much you are eating and if you're consistently using a digital scale to weigh and log all food intake.0

I did not make the comment about body weight exercises, nor do I agree with it.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
If someone put a gun to your head and said, "give me five squats with a 55 lb bar or I shoot you," would you be able to do it?0 -

Traditional weight lifting does not target a variety of muscles?
While I agree that you do not need to 'lift heavy' to get good results, that comments is wrong...very wrong0 -

OP - if you have the same measurements, you are likely not a a deficit. Fix your diet and make sure you follow a progressive loading resistance training routine that incorporates all muscle groups.0

1. You're overlooking the context
2. If you want to keep it arguing feel free to PM me. I don't want to derail OP further.0 -

It's not true strength training unless you are adding more weight. Doing bodyweight exercises over and over again is working out, not strength training.0 -

Well, unless you progress to a one-armed pushup or a pistol squat.0 -

Are you getting adequate protein? I didn't notice any improvement (and quit on weight training a couple times) until I focused on my macros.0

To me it also sounds like you are not following the program, and not eating in a deficit. Fixing these might not make it more enjoyable for you, but it will get you results.0

If you don't push yourself to the limit, I can see lifting being boring. I can also see why you wouldn't be getting the results you want from it.0

Let's argue with or ignore the people who are successful. They have nice bodies, they've never been fat or struggled.0 -
In order for the Stronglifts program to work you have to actually DO it. Like others have said, it's quite clear you have not done it.0
