Gonna start lifting soon again. Previously been doing boxing for a couple of years.
Im curious is SS or 5x5 still the most valid for newbs to gain strength?
Pretty much.
All beginner strength routines follow a very similar approach so just pick one and run with it. It doesn't make a difference which you do.

no take mine
AxBxAxxBxAxBxx
A
3x5 Squat
3x5 OHP
1x5 Deadlift
3x12-20 Curls
B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench
3xF ChinUps
>>37978387
then again, this is almost the original SS with more deadlifts instead of powercleans, no back extensions because cmon: glutes get enough work from squats, and some hypertrophy curls
>>37978387
oh, and do some bodyweight ab work on B
maybe leg raises or sit ups 3xF

SS is still the best. not just because the routine is the most efficient, but more than anything because the book is so good. lifting is a lot more than just going to the gym and doing some exercises for a certain number of sets/reps. reading SS is an excellent way to learn how to train effectively. just doing SS (the routine) without reading the book will lead to mediocre results.

yeah I smell bullshit
why do you gotta lie on an anonymous Vietnamese cat food image board??
>>37978558
did you read it? it's all about muh hamstring work
fuck hamstrings
>able to squat deeper highbar
>able to achieve required depth without shoving knees out like a retard
look at vids of rip coaching lowbar, they all buttwink when at good depth so he makes them stop earlier

Lying how? Started lifting when I was about 17-18 years old. Never took it really serious just followed the SS routine. Quit lifting when I were 19. Started boxing instead and have been doing it since. Im 24 now.

so you box, which regularly utilizes free weights, powerlifting and full body exercises, but then come on to a Cambodian childrens' skull trading image board to ask advice on the world's most basic lifts hoping for "noob gains"
Unless of course by "boxing" you mean you've practice the intimate art of unboxing your collectible waifus, in which case congrats anon, admitting you're a faggot is the first step!

>which regularly utilizes free weights, powerlifting and full body exercises.
No. Unfortunately we don't do that where we train. Our training mostly contain cardio or training with our own bodyweight.
However you seem to know more about my training than I do. w/e
>>37978880
lol cuz I actually box nigger, you punching a bag for 15 minutes don't count
>>37979017
Good for you champ.
Have it ever occurred to you that different gym's train different?
Punching a bag for 15 minutes don't count? What doesn't it it count for?
>>37979057
you being a "boxer" faggot
and if you don't train right what the fuck is even the point? you're gonna get you shit pushed in and you still look like a DYEL faggot with OR without a shirt on.
might as well get gyno and start passing yourself off as a bulldyke you little cuck
>>37979017
It do count, cunt.
>>37979121 Im moving away from boxing fyi to start lifting instead. That was the point with starting this topic. Regarding if SS or 5x5 is the best option.
However with a brain like a wettex swab like yours it might be hard to understand.
Anyway champ, swim safe with your hentai pillows.
>>37979121
You're actually retarded.
