      So I just started lifting for the first time in my life. I'm 16, 6' 1", 150 lbs and I wanna gain mass and look cut.

      My first week was last week doing a 4 day split of chest, back, arm, legs. Given from a bodybuilder on this forum.

      Then someone brought up the SS stuff.

      I'm really weak, can only bench about 100+ give or take (rep). What should I do?

      Thanks a lot!

      SS, high frequency is great for beginners. IMO beginners should work there muscle groups more then once a week.

      SS is neither high frequency, or high volume.

      BL SS is a bit better.

      depends what you're after.

      if you're after "aesthetics" just go with a 4 day split lol

      inb4 brainwashed SSers tell me that SS is much better.

      there are much better splits for aesthetics then a 4 day split, with his 4 day split hes only hitting a muscle group every 7 days.

      OP asked SS OR 4 day split.

      4 day split is better than SS imo in terms of aesthetics.

      People say aesthetics on here a lot, does that mean looks rather than strength?
