Grasshopper, starting strength, strong lifts 5x5 …or something else? I also have skinny legs…and I hate them

I’m a starting strength/Rippetoe guy, but I can’t say anything against any other program that puts newbies on progressive loading of compound lifts because I haven’t tried them. You could try grayskull too.

I would go with Rippetoe because he has the book plus the podcasts, forum, etc. There is a lot to help sustain you when it eventually gets hard.

The best/worst thing about Rippetoe is how dogmatic he is about the right way to do it. It can be off putting to people, especially advanced people who forget that his main message is for novices, but I think most people could stand to be yelled at by Rippetoe.
