Redpill me about Stronglifts as a newbie program, is it as effective

>>40842971
SS and SL are almost exactly the same program. The main difference is the Row/Power Clean I think.

>>40843046
Oh and also SS does 3 sets while SL does 5.

>put off SS
>considering SL

Nigga theyre virtually identical except one has 5 sets instead of 3.

The progression is still the same.

Either will work to get you stronger.

You won't look good by the end of it. This is not the fault of the routine. Its designed to last maybe 6 months at most.
You would not look after 6 months of ANY routine as a beginner.

>>40842971
you have to decide for yourself wether you do 3 or 5 sets

you need to add curls on non rows/chinup days

you are allowed to replace rows with chinups

if you want to do ss without cleans substitue them with 3x5 sldl

also chinups 3x5 is better than 3xF if you don't gomad

ghr/back extensions are for 'active low back recovery' can be skipped but won't do damage

if you feel you're becoming a trex just don't increase your squat weight

also: choose and then stick with it until you reach 1/2/3/4 for 5's

Look up ICF 5x5, it's a modified sane Stronglifts. Just don't look up the guy who put it out.

This is the only sentence in this post that isn't incoherent or total broscience.

Seriously, op

This.

Just pick one. And if you do SL you should still read the ss book. Cover to cover if you're serious about progressing and getting strong.

Please select singularly

SL eventually converts to 3x5. The only difference is an app and rows vs cleans. To avoid t rex mode you should eventually add the recommended accessories. Chins on deadlift day, dips on bench day.
