Choosing new programming

So I've been doing a bastardization of the westside/conjugate method for about a year and a half now. I've gotten a lot stronger on it, and I've had plenty of joint issues on it.

I've recently started a new job and joined a new strength gym. What has happened lately is that I get in there early, train the shit out of a compound movement, make time for a half ass attempt at a couple accessories and take off. It's not that I don't want to do the work - it's 430am and I'm lacking creativity.

I think I want to try a new program that's already laid out for me. Something where I can work out my percentages and plug them into a template and just have my workouts lined up so I can get it done and bounce on time for a shower before hitting the salt mines.

Been looking at some of the programs on Kizen (Silent Mike, Bart Kwan and Omar put these together) and for less than $100 they have a pretty easily consumable format for putting together programming.

Does anyone else have experience with these pre-baked programs or have any suggestions? I don't have time for Sheiko, I'm not interested in learning a bunch of body mechanics theory or crazy periodization algos. This is about saving time and simplifying my process so I can continue to get stronger without a ton of administrative overhead.
 
There are a shit ton of programs out there bro, for free, and many of them have a link to a spreadsheet that you put your numbers into and it will calculate everything for you.

Check out powerlifting to win.com. He covers nearly every program, with spreadsheets too.

What program you use basically just depends on your goals...
 
Steve Shaw is a solid power builder. Lots of programs on tiger fitness him as well as YouTube. Got his book too but all that info is available free on tigerfitness .

Thanks man ironically I was on powerlifting to win when I saw your response. Got some good ideas there, cool of someone to aggregate all that programming information in an easy to analyze and consume format.

I'm thinking I might do a modified Texas method for a while just to keep it really simple and easy to maintain while I get past some of the really difficult learning curve stuff at work...
 
Recently changed my program too... Contemplated Texas, but decided to go with some German volume training to get some hypertrophy going for a phase...
 
Look up 5th set by swede burns. Great stuff and he just came out with a new book. It's on elite fts and you can find the original book free online
