it's natural selection son
the sooner you snap your shit up, the better for everyone else since you wont be occupying gym space for no reason

You start light and you won't snap, retard. 2.5-5lbs increase every workout while you focus on form and hip drahve
You need to be retarded to have SS hurt you
Charles Rodriguez
there are 5 exercises... what?
squat
ohp
bench
power clean
deadlift
these have the most potential to make you stronger... the only one i have struggled learning is power clean
Lincoln Davis
no, best guide in lifting. For a visual equivalent watch Alan Thrall videos on youtube, he used SS and is strongman.
Andrew Walker
Yes and no. While compound movements are very important to learn and to grow, you will end up looking like fucking dog shit after JUST SS. Find a middle ground. incorporate all the heavy compounds with progressive overload into split that also focuses on multiple accessory movements in the 8-12 range. ei, do SS as a PPLxPPLx split with lotsa accessory movements and you'll look better faster, and become stronger. im ohping 225 and benching 315 atm, and i look like a BB'er, not mark fucking rippletits.

what you just said is similar to what i kind of asked in my own thread
i planned to incorporate the sets and reps from Strong Lifts into the compound movements in my program. the guy says i shouldnt though since im a beginner but still it sounds pretty good to me honestly

SS is great if you want to look like a T-REX.

basically you should do Starting Strenght for 2-6 months and then add accessory lifts or progress into another routine that is more specialized for your goals
if you want aesthetics you should continue to do the SS compound lifts, but add exercises that you want to build the muslces that you want emphasized on your body.
Bicep curls
lateral raises or more shoulder movements
tricep extensions or something
calf raises
abs exercises
Some form of rows
This will hit pretty much what most guys are looking for in aesthetics. But there is no limit to how much you can add. Its up to you what you want to look like - you need to figure out which exercises will emphasize the muscles that you want to pop
