When I hear people comment like this it's usually because they don't have a goal and don't know what to do. They just walk into the gym and do stuff to make themselves tired - ie wastes their time. If you follow a structured plan, like Starting Strength, you will get stronger every time you go to the gym. You will know how to prepare, exactly what you are going to do while there (even weeks and months ahead of when you go to the gym) and you will know when you are done. Also you will know that what you did just made you stronger as long as you get your rest. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0982522738/?bestFormat=true&k=starting%20strength&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-ser_k0_1_11_de&crid=1MMK506KV59WT&sprefix=starting%20st r/StartingStrength
Is there a reason why stronglifts It's a bastardized version of Rippetoe's Starting Strength. Which, if you read the book, you'd know it's a minimalist routine to drive the big lifts. Or a squat specialization routine, depending on how you look at it.
