What constitutes "lifts" & one's own body are the bigger variables here, and always.

EZ curls did not "fix" your tennis elbow.

When it aligns with their goals & preferences.

Looks a bit much for a beginner but give it a shot if you like it & see how it goes. That 5x5 DL to start out B day doesn't look fun to me, but do what works for you.

Not lifting for 15 years was probably a bigger factor in lack of progress.

It's odd how people spend so much time researching every way to maximize gains that involve everything except lifting hard.

OP, you don't give much details on your program for feedback - it's just a split. So just run it & see how it goes.

I wouldn't say that Madcow would be any more effective than any good PPLUL or PPL program, depending on what type of training works best for you. However, when you get to the level of people who...

1- is this program ok for a beginner to bulk on?
Yes

2- what will happen if I start bulking following my program? could I gain too much fat?
GZCLP won't cause you to gain too much fat. That...

I'd make finding a girlfriend your immediate goal.

Can confirm. I'm a master at densely packing almost the entire container of ice cream into one scoop onto a cone in terms of volume.

How much weight are you planning on gaining in 1 week where this would actually matter?

High trap insertion ogre genetics is prob the best possible blessing for a beginner bodybuilder.

SL itself says running it on a caloric deficit isn't good, and that you should be eating at least at maintenance but preferably in a surplus. The goal of SL is to progress your big lifts fast. So...

Accuracy doesn’t matter as much as consistency. If you’re gaining weight just slightly @ 1800 and have brought it down to 1500 you should start losing weight slightly. Just measure everything the...
