So I've fucked up and wasted the last 4-5 months without sticking with a routine or program. I've made minimal gains and am going to start counting calories.
My question is: Is it too late to try Starting Strength? Did I fuck up too badly and miss all my beginner gains? I'm nearly 23 now

You can't miss beginner gains if you haven't gotten them yet
>>37432396
stfu faggot and get in the gym.
its never too late. shit ain't over till you're dead in the ground

>SS
naw, nigga. Strong Lifts.

Thanks, so I could still progress fast enough to keep up with starting strength, or would I be better off with something else?

This basically.
I have a buddy who is going to be switching to SS soon because I left him in the fucking dust as far as strength goes. I kept trying to tell him to switch to a better program (he was doing an extremely retarded bro-split) and I was doing SS.
He started off benching more than me about 3-4 months ago, now imagine his surprise when we go and he's hardly made any progress on bench and I'm benching 40-50lbs heavier than him.
I told him it's about doing a proper routine, and how he's kick himself and switching over to SS.
It's never to late to do things properly.

I found that for a generally weak person like me (6'1'', skinny arms, narrow chest) SL tends to be harder to progress with. those 2 additional series really reck me.
I've started doing SL 3x5 and it seems good, next workout I'll see if I can increase weight 2nd time in a row after being stuck 4 workouts on the same weight (on more than one weight)
>>37432396
Sorry buddy the moment you touched a weight the timer for beginner gains started ticking. It's too late now.

>SL 3x5
Are you fucking stupid? That's SS
>>37432624
Isn't SS 3x8?
>>37432995
nope 3x5
>>37432549
yes. now stop looking for excuses not to do it and get started
