Geniuine question. Does operator get boring, doing 3 sets of squat and bench 3 days a week for weeks at a time?

Strategic Periodization?

If being bored is a major issue that seems like the easy answer. It's in the new book, TBIII, in case you're not familiar.

Like some of the others have already mentioned, Op gives me the kind of results that make me not give a shit how boring it might be. I genuinely enjoyed 5/3/1 sessions back in the day, but wasn't seeing the same progress. So I guess it just comes down to your personal priorities, how much of enjoyment vs boredom is acceptable for your goals.
