Where do you get your workout (lifting) routine from? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am going back to the gym tomorrow morning so you all better cough up some answers by then.

I know there are some commonly suggested routines. Like stronglifts 5x5, then there is 6-day PPL program that is suggested often on reddit too.

I also know that once you are experienced enough you can customise your program according to your requirements and liberties.

But I would like some suggestions for some intermediate-level programs. It has been a while since I followed one so I would appreciate anchoring myself to something definite rather than just doing what I like.

Thanks. Any suggestions are welcome.

Being optimal is not the goal. It's often a pie in the sky type of deal with chasing it.

I want to mix things up a bit. I've been miring in my limited knowledge on this topic for a long while and want to avoid stagnation. I learnt from a Sekiro lore video that stagnation is associated with rot in Japanese culture and while I will never forgive them for inventine anime I think they might be onto something here.
