Thanks! Stronglifts looks like a gold mine of information to me. Just what I was looking for. Currently I'm training with a bodybuilder approach and I'm starting to doubt it because it's hard to increase weights when you only have mid-to-high-reps sets. Personally a lot of motivation comes from the increase in the weight I lift so maybe a powerlifting approach would suit me better. Since I'm a novice (started training about 2 years ago), I'm a bit scared of doing PRs though. But maybe it could be an efficient way to force me to improve form?

If you do Stronglifts for two months that will get you a foundation in powerlifting and adding weight.

Then you calculate your theoretical max for each lift on this site: https://strengthlevel.com/one-rep-max-calculator

Then plug those into 5/3/1. I can't say enough good things about 5/3/1 - it gives you an elegant and consistent approach to PRs.
