How can I not get a giant ass from starting strength?

It's genetics.

By not doing it. Choose a program like PPL or CAP3 for example.

Noobs working out six days a week

>He doesn't want a giant ass
fuck off faggot, fags aren't welcome on /fit/

I bet he squats a lot though

>>41264549
PPL is fucking terrible.

Wut?

Also is the bike the worst cardio to do during starting strength?

Prowler sled if you have access to one. If not, C2 rower. Virtually no eccentric component so you won't be sore afterwards. HIIT with like 30s on 120s off or something similar for 10 cycles is more or less all you'll need for conditioning, and it won't affect your recovery as badly as running or cycling. Do it 2 or 3 times a week on off days. Make sure you eat enough.

once you see your ass starting to get bigger than you want, stop squatting as much. Why are you even asking this

What's wrong with this as long as they have the will for it?

Not that guy, but will isn't everything. Even if the split is well programmed in terms of design and progression, the noob lifter lacks proprioception and CNS development to not progress efficiently. SS and Reg Park's recognize this overall weakness and seeks to correct it relatively quickly so more complex routines can take place.

Not saying that splits are terrible because they do have their place. But for beginners, there's a lifting learning curve to get over before the splits yield better returns

squat in smith machine. when you squat, put your legs about 40cm forward like pic related. pressure on your ass will be reduced and your legs will work more

Squatting 3 times a week is fucking retarded unless you're a powerlifter. If your goal is general strength and aesthetics you'd be better off benching 3 times a week instead.

The first and final /fit/ redpill is calisthenics+cardio. Want athletic ability? Want aesthetics? Want stamina? Want fair amounts of strength? Go with a calisthenics progression program and incorporate cardio. If you really wanna lift, you can include it after building some lean mass and strength. SS is trash and has always been, and PPL and any variations of it, while fine, and is not for beginners.
Drop SS right now.

Wait, people don't want a nice ass?

I can't seem to activate my butt when squatting. Only feel it in quads, really.

What model squat plug are you using?
