Every damn retard on the internet will tell you something different when you ask him about a balanced routine for beginners. Most of them are shit and no one even does them. What the hell should I be doing at the gym? I got motivated and am ready to get natty but I swear every place that talks about lifting is full of idiots that won't even bother to give a good answer.
As a "beginner" (been lifting for a while but got serious recently) I know my shit and how to do the exercises and I know that DL, BP, Squat and OHP are fundamental and I'd add the BB Row to the group. So here's my question: is it ok if I basically do these exercises with 3x5 (or 5x5) reps? Because I heard (and I think it's true) that isolation exercises do nothing when you are a skinny piece of shit.
Yes, doing nothing but compound barbell movements with good form, low reps, and heavy weight is a good way to start. It's important to be clear what you want though. If you want to get strong, this sort of training will do that. If you want to build muscle, this will do that, but not as much as hypertrophy training. If you want to lose weight, that'll depend on your diet, and you'd have to be very exacting if you expect to make significant strength gains while cutting. But lifting heavy does burn a lot of calories in the long run. >and am ready to get natty "natty" means "natural", as in "you aren't using steroids". One is natty by default, and loses their status as being natural when they juice.
NIgger, there's three WONDERFUL beginner programs out there, that are easy as fuck to find. Stop listening to youtubers, they are only out to make money.
SS SL Greyskull
I personally went with SS because it is the simplest and seems to have the best LP, according to the testimonies I have found. Just swap BB Rows for power clean. (Fuck PC and Mark is retarded for still pushing it)

>DL, BP, Squat and OHP these are not isolation exercises, they are compound exercises that work multiple muscles. they are a great foundation to build your workout off.
add isolation exercises (curls, calf raises ect) on top of your compound ones
My aim is mainly to get stron af and have a bit of muscles too
I did SL for some time and it wasn't that bad but the dude that made it looks like a retard. SS looks good and Greyskull too. Why should I do cleans over rows?
Yeah I know they are compounds, maybe the post wasn't clear. What I meant is that people say you should stick to those and avoid isolation exercises until you get strong.

All of those programs are shit do 5/3/1 basic program and add more back work blackironbeast.com/

You SHOULDN'T do Cleans unless you are an under 30 athlete. It's meant to build explosive power and, in my opinion, is completely useless for most people and is just asking to get injured.
