You do not have to enjoy exercise — treat it like brushing your teeth
What someone who hates exercise needs is not a better programme but a different category. Move it out of hobbies and into hygiene.
If you already know what to do and still are not doing it, information is not the problem
Some problems do not dissolve when you watch another video or buy another programme. Not because the material is missing, but because direction and support are.
What the Big 3 miss: power, rotation, and awkward objects — and where they go
Squat, bench and deadlift build maximal strength. Moving fast, rotating under load, and handling something that is not balanced have to come from somewhere else.
Volume beats intensity for hypertrophy — up to about 30–40 sets a week
Meta-analyses consistently find more weekly sets per muscle means more growth, but returns diminish past roughly 30–40. Low-volume training taken to failure still works when time is short.
