                Sure, if you fastidiously apply yourself to ankle mobility for several years.
                You won't. Forget building muscle and adding weight, that shit is no progress over entire half years. It's the absolute worst joint to add flexibility to.
                I don't mean to make a demoralisation post, and if you do manage to really keep at it and get it sorted you're a good fella who deserves every good thing coming to him. But, you know, plan for failure in this case.

      your numbers are good enough. Consider anyway you're going to stall hard on 80kg bench and 50kg ohp for at least a month or two. Also dont gain too much weight like I did like a moron, it's hella hard to go back to your ideal weight

    It might be a bit early but look into PHAT/PHUL. It is what I am doing because you combine strong lifts with Hypertrophy.

    SS is the most basic beginner program someone could possibly come up with. The purpose is mainly to teach people how to do the basic lifts without overtraining them so early. If you don't train hard enough, or the lifts are too easy, then you won't make a whole lot of progress. The first few months are just learning how to do the lifts.

    Sample Beginner Program
    > Mon: Front Squat, Overhead Press, Deadlift
    > Wed: Back Squat, Bench, Lat Pulldowns
    > Fri: Cable Pulls, Bench, Sumo Deadlift

    After the beginner level, you have to add more weight (powerlifting) or add more exercises (bodybuilding). Maybe you can start playing a sport and focus your training on improving your sport performance. Naturally, this means you'll overtrain if you play a sport and do a six-day weight training schedule. Here is a three day schedule you can try.

    Sample Intermediate PPL Program
    > Push: Bench Press, Shoulder Press, Tricep Extension, Chest Flies, Shrugs, Isolation Shoulder Raises, Dips
    > Pull: Cable Rows, Barbell Rows, Lat Pulldown, High Row Machine, Preacher Curl, One-Arm Rows, Pull-Ups
    > Legs: Back Squat, Leg Press, Leg Curl, Lunges, Farmers Walk, Leg Extension, Deadlifts, Calf Raises

    There are plenty of variations on PPL. Given a three day schedule with rest days between exercises, you could feasibly repeat Squats, Deadlifts, and Rack Pulls on both Pull and Leg days (don't do this on a six day schedule).

    Three-Day PPL / Starting Strength Hybrid w/ Super Sets
    > Push: Bench Press, OHP, Shrugs Machine, Dips Machine, SS DB Chest Flies + Reverse Flies, Skullcrushers
    > Pull: Cable Rows, Barbell Rows, Back Squat, High Row Machine, Lat Pulldowns, Preacher Curl, Deadlifts
    > Legs: Hack Squat, Leg Press, SS Lunges + Dumbbell Squat, SS Leg Extension + Curls, Sumo Deadlifts

    I mean this 100%; Every single comment before and probably after mine is 100% wrong. You simply do NOT get aesthetic in an acceptable timeframe by copeshitting. If you want aesthetics you do bodybuilding routines, which you only realistically need dumbbells for. High reps, mid weight.
    If you want strength first, you do copeshitting, if you want aesthetics first, you do bodybuilding.

    Think about it you do 15 sets of squat in a week but only 5/10 of bench.
    The program sucks dick, it will make everyone a TRex,
    The strength base idea and progressive overload is good for beginners but you need more upper body work and less lower body.
    You don't need to alternate Bench and OHP you can do them in the same day. You won't fricking snap because of it, just in the second one you might be more tired

    You can’t actually become fatter by being physical active. If you are exercising more, then you can only become fatter by eating too much.

    moron, the point of Stronglift is to get you stronger, so you could later do a hypertrophy routine with heavier weight.

    Why don't you morons just do a bodybuilding routine rather than becoming permabulking pseudo powerlifters?

    >Ice Cream 5x5 updated
    Started 5 months ago at 90 kg, incapable of doing a single push-up. Starved myself on broccoli and chicken breasts to 83 kg. Quit gaming cold turkey, haven't looked back since. Started this lifting shit. Stopped reading Ligotti, installed TikTok. Started eating 500 grams of chicken breasts (~170 grams of protein) per day for my main meal plus whatever shit to get to my maintenance calories or above. Started drinking alcohol. Started taking 3 grams of creatine + 18 grams of whey protein powder each day. Started sleeping 3-6 hours cuz of classes. Added SLDL and DB lateral raises for shoulders and entertainment of gymbros/women.

    >stats rn
    >140 kg 3x5 squats, 90 kg 3x4 bench press, 120 kg 1x5 deadlift, 50 kg 3x10 SLDL, 50 kg 4x10 barbell rows, 50 kg 3x5 overhead press, 40 kg 2x8 barbell curls, 2x9 kg 3x10 DB lateral raises

    I love that dudes keep falling into the SS/SL/powershitter trap for looking good. Meanwhile, I work out only three times a week, doing horizontal leg presses instead of barbell squats, doing no deadlifts at all, and doing machine bench presses instead of barbell bench presses (my primary focus is martial arts, not being Lifter Guy with CNS burnout). I don't have to dread 'leg day' or worry about tight form or any of that shit. By doing only non-technical compound lifts and isolation lifts, I've stuck at the gym for over three years, and look no different to any other natty maxer.

        Nope. I don't give salty powershitters a semblance of victory as they pretend to find fault with my pics because they don't like what I've said.
        I have posted pics after pretending to be a Big 3 guy, though.

    Okay op heres how it works
    You strength program for a while learn the basics and get your strength up right get basic form correct

    And then you switch routines to cause hypertrophy and then eventually you look good I've been lifting twice ad long and look alot better than you by training like a body builder 2 months is nothing this shit takes years to truly make it you have to live it get obsessed
