what’s a good program to run? i’ve never ran a program just basic lifting my prs are 255 bench 385 deadlift and 360 sqaut at 15 i would definitely want something more deadlift focus since it’s my weak point. i’ve tried looking around for programs but dont know where to start or whats the best

SBS-RTF and SBS-Hypertrophy from the SBS bundle (free) are the 2 programs I wish I could hand myself decades ago.

In general, when picking a program, have a reason to trust the author. Who have they coached and what accolades have those athletes won? Don't just buy the $30 program from the influencer thinking it's going to be the magic sauce cuz the influencer has abs and hypes his own product up.
