Is Veeky Forums still about SS and SL?

Gonna start lifting.

Do SS
SL is a dogshit SS clone. 5x5 is too much volume for novices

When to stop doing SS and move onto 5x5?

When it's time for Texas Method.

The biggest complaint against SL, and especially SS from trainers is the low volume built into the program. I think it's a good program, but you need to add a last AMRAP qualifier to it. Also, remember that you should probably only do SS/SL for like 3-4 months max before re-evaluating your training needs.

3x5 is well above a beginners MEV, low volume on a session to session basis, but the weekly volume and frequency are fine you dongle.

>Dressed like Osira
She definitely schlicks to rule34

If it's low volume per session, and only 3 sessions a week, how is the weekly avg volume fine? Practically every other program out there is 3-6 days a week. So SS/SL is on the low end when it comes to training days compared to nearly every other respected LP out there. That said, they are still great for absolute beginners for many reasons beyond how more optimized the volume, intensity, and progression could be.

Is SS the way to go for a hungry skeleton before diving in PPL?

5x5 is a perfect amount of volume for a novice lifter, the fuck is wrong with you

Most beginner programs are good, you just have to eat more than you think. SS is good because it's pretty simple and easy to follow.

eat more

So, greyskull?

Pretty much. To be fair, I don't even know the strict GS program, I've only seen the modified one one.

desu i feel PPL easier because SS requires perfect technique or u will be fucking your shit up

But they are some of the most fundamental BB lifts, it's not super hard to figure out. And there aren't a lot of them either. Just research proper bench and squat form before A, and OHP and DL before B for the first 2 weeks. I mean, rewatch form videos before each session for at least 2 weeks, you will pick up something you are doing slightly wrong each time.

ss/gslp then ppl

I've done both. Without going into details, SL is a fucking snoozefest. When you push yourself hard you have 12 minutes of waiting on each exercise.

I've read the book it's meant to be a more flexible SS. Similar compounds and then you plug in whatever you want ( he recommends weighted chins and curls)

Huh, I started with SL, and found it a bore like that other guy, and I added chinups, curls, and AMRAP last sets. I guess I basically made GS without ever reading GS.

OP here. I'm thinking about doing Strong Lifts' as a base, but changing it to 3x5, and adding weighted Chin Ups, Dips, and pull ups.
Should I do it?
Any cons? Seems like a good deal to me

At that point why not just do SS? Those are the best accessories tho imo

I'd say, especially as a beginner, to just strictly follow the program for at least 2 weeks. It gives you time to focus on and learn the lifts. And it will keep you from overexerting yourself and being much more likely to quit, skip days, or get injured. Then, if you find that the base program isn't kicking your ass, add in accessory stuff that you want.

That's a good point. Jumping into something new as a beginner without starting out.

Having said that, I do need some good assistant core exercises. They are by far my weakest area.
What would be a good assist ab excercise to go along either A or B work out of SL? Either just one or both, I dont know how that would work.
Also sorry about all the click bait photos. Here is some less clickbait picture to appease you meme gods of Veeky Forums.

I don't do any ab work because I'm a bitch. I've heard the ab wheel thing is pretty good, but I'm not really the one to ask.
