Can I go straight into PPL or is the "strength base"

Beginners can achieve more results with less work. You don't need all that volume to start.

Suppose that time under tention, feeling the muscle is real and all that jazz. Now, what do you think would build more muslce. 225lbs bench press mind muscle connection or 135lbs bench press? Do the math.

The same goes for volume work. If a guy does 3x5 405 squat, he can easily do 5x10 with 315. Now you have a nother guy who does 5x10 but with 225. Who do you think would have bigger legs?

To be honest just start with PPL but only work out 3 times a week, focus hard on getting enough sleep and ESPECIALLY enough food. Man food is so fucking important for progress you have no idea.
