I am starting a strength program.

I have read up on Stronglifts 5x5 and Bodybuilding.com's Jamie Eason.

I dont know which will be better as far seeing results. I have heard great things about both from different people. HELP

    I've been doing Strong Lifts 5x5 for 2 weeks now. REALLY like it.

    I'm not familiar with Jamie's but I think it targets a different muscle group five day a week (someone correct me if I'm wrong). This is really not something beginners should do. This is for body builders like Jamie who already have a nice solid strength base, and muscle size. Strong Lifts are big compound movements that work your entire body 3 times a week. You don't need to isolate at all. It's much more efficient and just makes a lot more sense for someone new to lifting.

    If Stronglifts doesn't appeal to you, there are several other great programs for beginners. However, if they are good programs they will be very similar.
