Can I combine P/P/L and 5x5 stronglift?

[Taner0607]

I am a beginner in terms of lifting and am skinny and looking to put on muscle mass and had heard 5x5 stronglift is very effective for hypertrophy and strength. I currently do Push/Pull/Legs 6 days a week and was wondering if I could combine the both? For example a push exercise would be 50kg Bench press 5 reps and 5 sets.

What exactly are you thinking about doing? List the exercises, sets and reps for each day.

Mixing a PPL with Stronglifts sounds impossible. SL is a basic strength program, PPL is an intermediate/advanced hypertrophy template.

If you want to gain strength and size, just follow SL and eat to grow. In 6 months or so, do Madcow or find an Upper-Lower. You might never need a PPL 6 days a week. It's just too much volume for the average person to recover from, and recovery is one of the most important factors in consistently growing.

i did this when i got frustrated with not seeing any results from 5x5.

PUSH
bench
ohp
skullcrushers
dips

PULL
deadlift
row
pullup
curls

LEGS
Squats
Leg Press
Hamtring Curls
Calf Raises

worked pretty well for me. but im not sure about running this 6 days a week, maybye 3 is plenty.

I agree with this 100%. Take this advice OP.

If I were to run 5x5 alone what days would I workout and what muscle groups? Thanks for the advice
