Seriously? Does doing SS or Madcow or SL do ANYTHING for aesthetics? For fuck sakes. I'm just going to fucking go on a split.
I've seen people that only do compound weight exercises and they look like shit. Big thighs and not arms. Give me one good fucking reason I shouldn't be on a split?

Cause doing split makes you gay.

those routines are for powerlifters and beginners or weak faggots. go and do a split once you have base strength you fucking cuck.

>Are you on gear or will be?
Do a shitsplit
>Are you natty?
Lift heavy, eat big, lower body fat to reveal newly gained muscles

Holy fucking kek. I only did SS for two weeks because I was coming back from a fractured wrist. But splits are GOAT

back bis
chest tris
leg shoulders

repeat

this is the best routine my friend. do dl on the first back day and on the 2 leg days. U will look nice

Do ICF5x5 until you hit 225 bench, 315 squat, 405 deadlift. I like to bench with a closer grip than most so that I can activate more triceps since that's what's lagging on me. For squats I do front squats. And for Deaflifts I do sumo. I also swapped out barbell rows on workout B for weighted chin-ups. I also added calf raises at the end of every workout. I fucked around for my first year of lifting because I thought "oh I don't need a strength program I'm just going for aesthetics" but a stronger muscle is a bigger muscles.

Pic is me rn. I'm not big but after one month of ICF I look a lot better than before.

Who /UL/ here?

Do whatever routine you want, but abandoning compounds is a terrible idea.

I do an upper/lower split but i still do the big 3 plus ohp twice a week.

> be strong and look good

Consider the following:

>to build muscle you need to get progressively stronger
>to keep getting progressively stronger you need to do more work (more volume) over time

If you start on a high volume routine as a beginner, you're going to find that you eventually stall and you won't have the time or the work capacity you need to keep growing. This is why a 3x a week strength routine is good for a beginner. You can move onto more bro style training later on.
