Anybody heard of SL 5x5 or SS?

Some people claim its great for building mass and to be more aesthetic, is that true? I was under the impression that you can get stronger without building that much mass (at least not much compared to a hypertrophy split)

SL is an inferior version of SS.

But will it really build mass?

 

[search1ng]

what is SL and SS!?

 

[dudewut]

ok let me rephrase;

will added strength = added mass?

its not the matter of which routine is better. The problem is not focusing on eating and staying consistent...

While consistence is good, I believe progression is also important. The issue here is which one will be better in gaining mass?

I was under the impression that muscle growth is different from a hypertrophy split and strength training, but now its kinda blurry to me...

Imagine, ever saw a guy with 12" arms Bench press 225? Me neither.

But then again, did you gain mass because you got strong? Or will you get strong by gaining mass?

Also Kerpal you remind me of this website I used to go to
