Hi everyone!
I have been into the gym in some way, shape or form for about 8-9 years, and I love weight lifting/CrossFit style training. I would say I am a higher end intermediate lifter - I am strong for my height and have been training for too long to see newbie gains anymore.
I used to follow programming like RP women’s physique, nSuns, GZCL, etc, and honestly did not mind following a program that had me doing the same exercises for weeks at a time. Unfortunately something changed in my brain, and I got over that style of training. I did CrossFit for a while - and loved the variety - but I ended up getting a decent home gym set up and stopped going to CF to save money.
More recently I have been enjoying doing Caroline Girvan’s programs, as I really enjoy how no two days are the same. I have completed her EPIC programs, Fuel, Beastmode and a few of the shorter 1 week programs like the kettlebell series, tempo week, etc.
I am now looking for something that incorporates more barbell work but isn’t monotonous. I don’t really have any aesthetic goals right now (although I do enjoy looking strong/having some definition), but am looking for something creative and has a lot of variety to prevent me getting bored. Of course I understand that progressive overload requires repetition, but I am hoping to find a program that gives me the opportunity to be excited and challenged by workouts each week.
If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

It's $20/mo and it includes several different scale levels, from Rx to bodyweight. I've got a pretty good setup at home and use the scaled option. My sister is doing the bodyweight/minimal option with some dumbbells and a kettlebell. They also have a 7-day trial.
