Nope.

You'll get strong but you won't look strong

Is 3x8 better?

n-suns

Do both

I did it for 2 months when i started. I made good gains and enjoyed it but I dont recomend staying on it for a long time.

I started lifting three months ago. Made some okay gains and got near 100lbs on my bench.

Started doing this and hit the reset button on those lifts, but I'm doing the full 12 weeks. It's pretty boring. But I'm gonna finish it and then maybe move onto something else.

is squatting 3 times a week worth it. It's depressing when i think i have to reset my lifts, but then i wonder should i give it a try because i would like to start squatting without belt. Or can i just squat and deadlift 5x5 and everything else do normal.

I'm getting decent results from it. Just add some supplemental exercises to your routine. If you don't particularly need the app keeping track of your lifts then it's probably not ideal.

add dips chin up curls and skull crushers

Gained more str on strong lift 5x5 than any other program

What are some good exercises to add to SL for core?
More importantly what are some good exercises for a 6'6" man with wide hips, luckily I have wide shoulders to counter but I still want to make it less prominent.

If I'm trying to lose weight and looking for lean gains instead of bulk, what should I do instead? Can I just do the same program but with lighter weights and more reps?

It has hanging knee raises and planks as add-ons

Worrying about bulking too much is a bit silly to do when you're starting out. Lift weights and maintain your proper amount of calories. Lifting heavy things will make you spend a lot of energy and lose weight.

Just do the same program but don't be hung up if you can't always put more weight up while on a deficit.
Maybe add more core work so your stomach looks better when you lose the weight.

And like said, while natty it's pretty hard to get too bulky for most, you'll be fine.

I did it for almost 4 or 5 months when I first got into lifting. It was very enjoyable the first few months but when the weight started getting heavy, my work out typically lasted an hour and 20 minutes due to the rest time needed to squat that much. Much longer than the 45 minutes than the description.

I think you can get similar strength gains on gslp with less workout time.

I'm starting to reach this point myself after ~2 months. I'm a skelly though so for me its all about just eating a fuckton of food but if you happen to stall or do a heavy set then its hell because it feels like it never ends.

It's too much volume for strength and not enough volume for aesthetics. Also not enough arms. You'll look like a t tex and 5 sets makes failure happen much faster than, say, 3x5.

you can lose shit ton of fat with this program too, u cant just get bulk by fucking lifting,eat clean don't change anything in program, high reps are good but maybe for those who are at least 12 percent already and want to get more shredded

I haven't done it as an actual beginner (I had a programme before, but my lifts wouldn't show this), but after finishing SL5x5 I have improved my PL total by 40,5kgs in those 11 weeks (am now in week 12, doing deload before madcow or wendler's 5/3/1 for powerlifting).

*lifting for couple of months i meant

It's good enough. Start on it and get your lifts up. Gain weight without freaking out. Once you get your lifts up you can cut down if you don't like the fat.

This

5x5 is for getting stronger and getting used to heavier weights imo. Been doing it on and off for the past year.

spent two months on it my squat went from 60 kg to 105 kg, then I got full time employment and started stressing everytime I missed a rep, the only progressive overload is a higher weight and because of that you might subconciously compromise form just so you don't fail and have to lift the same weight again

I did get stronger, a lot of it seems to be conditioning, I'd say only my legs grew on the program and I did find it fun

I have found it to be a great program so far has got my lifts to:
Squat: 127.5kg 5x5
Bench press: 92.5 5x5
Deadlift: 152.5 5x5
Overhead Press: 60kg

It has a focus more on legs but will definitely get your lifts up

Squatting heavy 5x5 three days a weeks made me want to kys myself. What I did was make Wednesday a high volume day with lower weight. That seems to be working.

its a template, you have to add things relative to your goal. i.e. curls, chip ups, dips, incline bench.
