No
But you'll make gains on anything because you're a beginner
But it's shit.
Aaron Richardson
>no, but you make gains
I'm not sure you answered the question.
But yes, OP. Strong lifts is a good launching point for a fitness regimen. You will need to change it up after a while (12 weeks?) by adding accessory lifts or switching to a simple Push Pull Legs type workout.

Nice reading comprehension faggot. Don't give out shitty advice anymore on my board.
Alexander Cooper
It is a good beginner routine to introduce you to whole body exercises, which is what it was designed for.
Jack Harris
do GLSP LP or Candito C/S LP
much more fun and less cult like, and they also have better ways of dealing with stalls
David Rogers
If you follow it as intended and add some accessory work (e.g. dips or chin ups), then yes, it will work. If you want to win powerlifting nationals, then no. I would go with Candito or variations of 5/3/1.
Kayden Stewart
Nice trips, but what if I just want to look aesthetic and get stronger over time?
Michael Lewis
This pls
Been doing SL for a month now. Just want to look really good.
Ethan Flores
Pretty good for beginners.
Run this circuit 3 times after you're done:
A (Bench) Day:
12 reps assisted dips/dips
12 reps barbell wrist curl
12 reps neck extension
Deadhang until failure
B (Deadlift) Day:
12 reps assisted chins or chins
12 reps barbell wrist extension
12 reps neck curl
12 reps calf raise
Basically, do all four exercises, rest a minute if you need too, and get three sets of each in.
The deadhangs really help later on so you don't have to mix your grip or switch to straps on deadliftss
