I AM READY TO GET FIIIIIT

Strong lifts because at least it has rows, while SS don't

SL is simpler, so I think it's easier to follow as a beginner. Either way, just be consistent and don't set your hopes too high. After you do ANY beginner program, you will be a slightly stronger beginner. You won't be ripped, no matter what program you do. It really doesn't matter, but make sure it's something you won't give up on.

>implying you'll actually follow the program
the one recommendation that I have with SS, SL, whatever is to pair your press with chinups or bench with BB rows, to keep your upper body pressing and rowing symmetrical.

I'm still skelly and I hate deadlifting, my lower back was in pain at first. I can't go all the way down to the floor and maintain good form, so I do Romanian DLs as low as I can go. My form stays good and I don't get hurt.

SS

ICF 5x5 is better than both of those, you won't end up complaining about small arms or lats at the end of it.

SS is good for athletes who actually need the power from power cleans, not some skinny fat/skinny/fat basement dweller who's never lifted a weight in his life, you'll just snap your shit doing them, they require way too much technical prowess for a beginner to benefit from.

I know Jason Blaha is a meme at this point, but his program stands the best novice program in my eyes to date, the choice is yours, though, you won't get big on either of the ones you listed, I can promise you that.

Oh, I forgot to mention. If you have no prior lifting experience, you'd be better off doing SL for a month or two to get the basics down, and to build that initial foundation of strength. I learnt this the hard way when I attempted tricep extensions on my first week of lifting, my whole arm swelled up and I thought I had rhabdo or something, couldn't lift for almost 2 weeks.

Get the basics down with the compounds first, then jump on ICF and slowly ease in the accessory movements to prevent any extreme DOMS.

Stronglifts 5x5, use the app. Eat at 500+ caloric surplus everyday. Don't be a bitch, stay consistant.
we all gonna make it

first time i seen good advice on this board

You seem like you know a thing or two. What do you think about Veeky Forums's GSLP, mostly in regards to aesthetics?
