Nahhhh squats and deadlifts are great lifts. THey will not lead to a disproportionate bodies if u do not ignore other parts. To have strong legs, dead lifts and squats are basically the best ones you can do. To gain mass, squats and deadlifts are the best you can do. So stop curling in the squat rack and load that shyt up and squat u pussies.
I will bet you he deadlifts/squats
Everyone who deadlifts/squats does hella arm work too. Only dudes who are crazy bottom heavy are cyclists, or maybe sprinters. Neither of whom are pear shaped
If you wanna be lazy and have an unbalanced physique thats cool.
@ your arms and thighs being the same size, lookin like a paraplegic. That aint the wave

what do you think of the stronglifts or Starting Strength routines?
Workout A
Squat 5X5
Benchpress 5X5
BB row 5X5
Workout B
Squat 5X5
Overhead press 5X5
Deadlift 1X5
three times a week so say Monday A, Wed B, Fri A, Mon B...
a lot of the focus is on Squats (you basically squat 3 times a week) but it also has some other uperbody lifts. do you think that's a good compromise? this is also considered a beginner routine.

If you can pull it off try and see what comes out of it. But squatting 3 times a week with 80% of max weight is some crazy shyt. I dont know why they are pushin this shyt to such extreme.
I remember when I started I did something like this (listing only core exercises):
A.
Bench press 5x5 (80% of max)
Squat 5x5 (50%)
B.
Deadlift 5x5 (80%)
Push press 3x8
C.
Squat 5x5 (80%)
Bench press (50%)
Additionally there were one-two heavy compound exercises. We started this shyt with empty barbells
.Even this program eventually led to disproportion. I wasnt able to increase weight in exercises on upper body but this fukking squat continued to grow.
The program you listed will certainly give you gains if you will eat shytloads of food. The gains will be concentrated below your waistline.
i put threadstarter in the red
squats+deadlift>>>>>
only reason why i gained weight and started beasting on the court

i stopped doing deadlifts and squats when i hurt my back in a car accident. havent been able to get a good form since. chiropractor even said it would be best to stay away from those two altogether. any good alternatives that wont put so much pressure on my back.
I've yet to see a pic of one Of these pear shaped squatter bodies

I broke my back last year, partial paralysis and I still fukk with squat and deadlift(i can rep 305 now) To be honest, they helped me come back from being REAL
But i didnt go right to weights. I recommend you move to calisthenics for a while. fukk with planks, hindu squats, 1 legged squats. As crazy as it sounds, try and work on mastering the back bridge.
the only way to help an injury is to slowly and patiently worth through it and strengthen the area and surrounding muscles.

slight sciatic nerve pain. shyt effects my left leg as well but not nearly as much. i've recovered for the most part. i can still run and sprint aand shyt. but i just cant do any lifting. shyt hurts too bad to do any back excersises.
i heard for people with major sciatic nerve pain can hardly walk.
I fukked up my back/hips in a car accident last summer, my DL has stayed consistently decent (385x3), but my squats went
. Used to have no problem going atg with good form and decent weight, but now shyt kills my back and hips
