I have this thing where I can't start lifting because I don't know what routine to do. I just wanna be a lot bigger and leaner. I don't wanna look dyel anymore.
Half of /fit/ just says read the sticky, and the sticky says SS. The other half of /fit/ says SS is a mean and won't help you look good. I don't know what to do /fit/ I just wanna start lifting and Make it. Should I just do a 6 day ppl
Saying SS is a meme is a meme. Just read the sticky, if it were a meme it wouldn't be there.

Do SS. This place is a fucking cesspool. The sticky has good info.
Consistently working out your entire body several times a week and eating enough is more important than a particular program, though.

This
The "SS is a meme" phrase in itself is a meme. Do SS plus accessories for like 5-6 months and you'll be fine lad.
Literally as long as you are picking up barbells and putting them down, you'll make progress as a beginner. SS is just a program to help you make quicker strength ga isn't than something like a shitty brosplit

It says read the sticky, not fit. Fit is a meme itself, if you were to be fit youd be a roided powerlifting bodybuilder with autism and probably gay.
Read the sticky.

Jason Blaha here...
Alright I'll do SS for the first 6 months then. Will I still get bigger or just stronger? Also what kinds of accessories should I do?

Hes the embodyment of 95% of fit

If you eat enough, you will gain weight.
Do chin ups. Curls on Friday, if you want. Buy the Starting Strength book (just google starting strength pdf to download).
>>37959866
Just give SS a shot, do it for at least a month. If you don't wanna continue, switch to any other of the beginner routines in the sticky (Greyskull, PHIR, Reg Park, etc)
>>37959997
you will get smaller and weaker. my brother did SS and turned auschwitz
>>37959997
SS+ pull ups, dips and some curls for the girls is good enough

Fair enough...
>>37959866
Do SS and then if you start looking T-Rex, switch to Push/Pull/Legs routine.
You can always add accessory bullshit to SS too, like at the end of your workout, throw in some bicep/triecp isolation shit, shoulder stuff, etc. You don't have to only do the 3 main exercises and then go home.

SS isn't supposed to make you look good. Its supposed to teach you how to lift and to make the most of your noobgains in a small amount of time so that in 6 months to a year you can move on to an intermediate program.
Just focus on your form for all 3 lifts and put the 5 lbs on every workout. That's all you need to do right now. If in 4 months or so you want to add some accessories, go for it. But what's important is that you'll be building the foundation of compound lifts that will take you through the rest of your journey.
Just ignore his fucking diet advice. Looking at you now it looks like you've got some excess fat but you aren't too heavy yet. Just eat a slight calorie surplus and you'll be g2g.
Also, here's two pieces of advice for anyone starting out I think are incredibly handle:
1, No one gives a fuck about you or what you're lifting
2. Leave your ego at the door
Lift what you can safely lift with good form. Don't go to snap city because you want to impress the cardiobunnies. Form is everything so treat it with the respect it deserves.
Can't wait for you to make it, bro.
