    I’m just a newbie myself, but I think it might be better if you simplify what you’re doing a bit. I started the Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression about 2 months ago and have seen noticeable changes in my body and measurable changes in my strength – eg I’ve improved ~100lbs (45kg) on my squat and ~40lbs (18kg) on my bench.

    The program is super simple, just 3x week and 4 exercises to start with. The goal is to increase the weight on each lift by 5 lbs every workout.

    You switch between these two workouts:

    `A Squat Bench Deadlift

    B Squat Press Deadlift`

    The trick is, from my own experience at least, is that you need to eat a bit more than you’re used to (at least to start with). I feel it when I haven’t eaten or slept enough the day before the gym.

    Check out this page for more info https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs

    They have some really good videos on how to do the exercises on their YouTube channel.

    There’s also a bunch of other variations I’ve seen of this routine, like the Grey Skull LP, but they all look pretty much the same to me.
