Don't do anything extra at first, do the program as written. Follow the stronglifts guidelines to a T until you are experienced enough to make these decisions on your own.

You never read starting strength, it does not say that in there. The outline of SL 5x5 does not say that either. You should read the sticky.

Stronglifts will do your abs enough, you don't need to do crunches and shit. Supporting a barbell on your back works your abs a lot.

it's all guichi mayne, just follow the program for several months and then change it up a bit to your liking

>>120781

why do you want to do ab work? if you're doing SL your core will get worked. if you want a 6 pack you have to get under 10% body fat.

tbh i only do abs for vanity reasons.

if you're doing a program like SL you don't really need to add anything. its designed to give a good full body work out.

>>120807

then why does AllPro recommend ab work?

>>120821

Because there's nothing wrong with having a super strong core.

>>120821

Not sure. Not familiar with that.

You need a strong core to do the major compound lifts. But doing those will strengthing your core.

It won't hurt to do some crunchs or planks. Maybe some kettle bell swings too.

>>120822

What would you recommend if I still did Allpro?

(I changed to Stronglifts at the start of the year)

>>120824

but crunches are bad for you

>>120784

Crunches are bad.

You should only be doing situps if your coach (if you have one, and you should) tells you to.

i.e. your core is super weak and you need to strengthen it before you can go into higher weights

Not the OP

What kind of faggotry is this? SS is not some brilliantly designed program, and neither is SL. Their only advantage is that it's impossible to fuck up when you stick to them, but they're so far removed from overtraining that there is no harm in doing more than the programs tell you to. I made my best progression back when I did SL but with additional volume.

As a beginner skeleton fag can I start with SL or should I just do SS?

>>125133

They're both beginner routines. If you like SL, do SL. I'd personally recommend SS, but SL isn't bad by any means.

>>125135

I don't get it either. I wouldn't recommend them but I wouldn't call them "bad for you."
