PETITION TO UPDATE THE STICKY WORKOUTS

I'd say that GSLP or the stronger-by-science strength training guide are probably the best strength building programs for beginners and maybe 'intermediate' lifters.

Don't know what to recommend for getting lean though, which is the thing most people starting actually want to do. Beyond 'yes, really count your calories, all of them' and 'eat less, move more' there doesn't seem to be a consensus with decent science to back it.

I disagree. I started as hungry skeleton 6'3" 150 lb and did GOMAD + SL5X5 and saw great results.

Though I did end up modifying the program a lot to something else barely recognizable, as I felt that it was a little barebones. Great for a beginner who would otherwise be overwhelmed with options though.
