do u know why it's so hard for me to bench? like it makes no sense that i've gone up to 2 plates for squat/deadlift but i cant do more than 105 bench for sets.You can look good doing 5x5 stronglifts...based on your numbers aa long as you eat 90% healthy and progressively overload you good.

When will I know I have a good strength foundation?Stronglifts is for strength but will probably give you more hypertrophy than a 3X5 type program. The thing about strength and hypertrophy is that they go hand in hand. Whatever hypertrophy program you choose, you will probably get bigger if you can do the same program with heavier weights (which means you need more strength) i would say keep working on strength until you establish a strength foundation.

It's really up to you. It depends on your hypertrophy goals. How big you want to get and how responsive your body is to weights.When will I know I have a good strength foundation?
I'm going to be doing Ice Cream Fitness (3x5 for the main lifts because I'm cutting and you can lower volume if you're cutting).
