I need a good workout routine. Never lifted. I wanted to use SS but I need to trim a bit of fat before I can bulk. Suggestions?

Bulk and then cut, retard. Why would you cut just to lose strength? Lift, eat right, cut when you feel it's right
And for the love of God read the sticky
If you're already fat you can do ss on maintenance calories and build muscle and burn fat at the same time but you will make slower progress than someone with a surplus

I can't bulk right now. So I'm better off not going to the gym while cutting for now?

I feel it's right to cut now so what

Just get your ass in the gym and lift some heavy things you fucking retard.

Read the fucking sticky. Learn the compounds and lift. Just eat enough that you can keep progressing on lifts. Do this for ~3 months, then reassess. The first stage in the lifting journey requires literally no thought, just train your central nervous system to be able to recruit whatever muscle mass you have.
3x5(new weight)-10(before upping weight) bench press, same for squats but more weight, and chins for 10-20 reps (weighted if u can handle it) then deadlifts. bench and squat are done with pauses and good rom. extra stufd at end can do decline pushups (normal pushups are too boring. 100 reps to get a challenge? fucking slow. the challenge is high endurance very low intensity, so basically just getting tired and fucked, mental challenge.) do soem overhead occassionaly, and maybe abs, plus hammer curls and bar curls. the core of the program is the bench squat chisn and deadlift.

If you've never lifted you can progress in SS while losing fat
You can cut on any routine, just eat less.

oh my god, everything is in the stick,
im losing weight with SS first week, feels good, feel like il see changes by end of the month
>best way to loose fat is calorie deficit, start moving heavy weights(SS) get protiens, cardio on rest day, and keep it regular for a month or two changes dont happen overnight,
once your metabolism is up and your muscles are growing fat will fall off you

You'll get nothing done and the little bit of fat you have will look like more with no muscle mass to spread it out. 18% bf Iooks worse on no muscle mass than someone with lots of muscle mass.

Do SL. the extra volume burns fat and is better for overall muscle growth and strength.
