Is SL5x5 still THE beginner program? Or is it powerlifter propaganda?>inb4 SSbeginners should NOT be doing olympic lifts
>>77284626>should NOTIt's literally the perfect time to learn them given you have an iq over 95.
>>77284626>Is SL5x5 still THE beginner program?Pretty much yes. Low bar squats boost testosterone, which causes the rest of your body to grow even if you don't do direct isolation work.
>ohp deadlift and squat all on the same day 5x5 and assuming +75% of 1rm
>>77284630maybe if you want to be an oly weightlifterlike if you gotta do the movement then yeah but for 99% of people they're lifting for good health and good looks, they don't plan on competing so training Oly lifts is just added injury risk doing a very dynamic movement
>>77284626Your weightlifting routine should depend on why your lifting, not how new you are at it.
>>77284630If you have a coach**
5 x 5 is shitDo 6 x 6. That’s where the real growth happens
>>77284626How can you do 2 compounds in 1 day if you're aren't a beginner. Especially squat and DLOnly OHP can possibly be mixed with something else
>>77284694Overriden by having an iq over 95 unlike this tard >>77284652>Being explosive..le bad !
>>77284727As a beginner you are weak so it’s not as taxing to your CNS
what should i even do as a beginner? ive been doing SS for a month now and its been going fine, but a friend of mine told me i'll never make any gains, and now this thread showed up...
>>77284794Add some accessories for abs, arms and delts. Other than that keep doing wat you are doing, consistently following a program is the most important thing for a beginner.
I tried 5x5 once after doing a split my whole life and the strength gains were immense but I actually got way smaller and stopped. I didn't 'feel' as good as being pumped either
>>77284794the most important (and difficult) thing for a beginner is to just stay consistent and at itIf SS is working for you then fuck it keep doing SS get those quads
>>772847016x6 or 3x12 is peak programming fr
>>77284639>2026.4>not taking exogenous testosteronengmi
>>77284626Yes. It'll teach you everything you need to learn about the gym, then when progression stops you'll be prepared for any intermediate and advanced routine >>77284639This is not true unfortunately, if anything it'll wear you out and tank your test progression.Please don't take this as me hating on squats, I'm fully indoctrinated into squat supremacy.>>77284646Pretty easy when you're not even at 1/2/3/4>>77284727>How can you do 2 compounds in 1 day if you're aren't a beginner>It's a beginner routine>>77284794How big is your friend?My only regret for the 2y I ran it was not doing dedicated arms, I think I'm genetically disadvantaged with skinny arms and nobody cares about any muscle more than biceps, so normies will mog you. I'd do arms on off days.>>77284840The real truth nuke is 2x5, 2x10
Too much squatting.Squat and Bench press 2x a weekDeadlift and OHP 1x a week.
>>77284626Why would need assistance? That just makes the lifts easier and less effective.
>>77284626>beginners should NOT be doing olympic liftsArguably they don't need to do power lifts either. Just put them on a chest press machine, leg press machine, shoulder press machine, leg curl machine, row machine, and pull down machine and they have the basics covered. Fewer technical concerns and better able to train them to move correctly when they don't have to worry about the barbell sitting on their shoulders or keeping their back straight to avoid pulling something.
>>77284626ASquat 3x5OHP 3x5DL 3x5BSquat 3x5Weighted Dips 3x5Weighted Pull-Ups 3x5Wow, I fixed your program. Replace dips with bench if you want, I just like dips.Cleans are dumb and too technical. Most people won't actually have the proper form too benefit from them. Add 3 minutes of different core exercises that aren't isometric every day and you're set.
>5x5 meme in the year of our lord
>>77285309what's wrong with bench? It's less injurous than dips
completely outdated and has led many to the snap necropolis you will also likely turn in your natty card once you start hitting high numbers but still look like an amorphous blob instead of tyler durden

SL5x5 and SS turned a generation of men into fat booty trex
>>77284995>How big is your friend?Fairly big. The guy's pretty strong for a natty lifter, I think, though he's way shorter than me. I think I'm like you, since my legs were always fairly strong and my torso is alright, but my arms were always kind of thin, so I've also been doing biceps and triceps work alongside the big lifts.
>>77285361>>77285327>>77285366Well then if SL and SS are bad why don't you tell the class about your beginner routine?
>>77285533I dont do a beginner routine.
>im in a hurry and can focus exclusively on strengthtexas method>im not in a hurry, do lots of conditioning, have to focus on other things in life531 + bbb or or bbs or fsl depending on goalsi will probably do this for the rest of my life.
>>77285693>95% 1RM sets>5-10lbs every 4 weeksthis isn't for beginners, it's for intermediates and people who've plateued
>>77285533PPL. upper/lower is also stronger for beginners
>>77284626Yeah its goated. You can also follow the same process with other exercises. Just start with the lowest amount you can and add 5 pounds or less each time. Simple, effective, progressive overload. Switching days of the week you do certain exercises does not matter very much.
