Hi
41 year old male, been doing SF kettlebell work on and off for a couple of years, looking to PERHAPS getting into barbell non competitive lifting.
I have completed S&S Simple a few times over the years (currently on my 3rd time on it), and I really like the minimalistic approach of such a program. I have been practising at home until now, but that may soon no longer be an option, since I soon may be sharing my small flat with my girlfriend. So I was thinking about joining a gym and training 3 times a week. The reason I am thinking about barbell, is that the gyms in my area do not have a good selection of kettlebells or even a designated areas to train with them. Two of them do have, but I dislike those two gyms (people and music).
I like the minimalistic approach of SF programs, and prefer to focus on just the powerlifting lifts (and military press and pull/chin ups). SF Reload sounds like it's for more experienced lifters, and Easy Strength sounds like it need more than 3 days a week. I would like to stay with SF programming/methods and not have to look for others like Starting Strength/Barbell Prescription/5x5 Strong Lift.
TL;DR: What is a good beginner program for barbell?
