PPL is a hypertrophy program ( aesthetics ) mixed with a bit of strength inside ( 5/3/1) .

I did stronglifts 5x5 ( strength program similar to starting strength) for 1 year and now i am on PPL.

Ask yourself your goals. Do you want strength or do you want muscles ? If you are a beginner(never lifted before) both will build muscle at the start but hypertrophy always maxs out aesthetics.

For me i dont care how many muscles someone has if he can't squat atleast 100-120kg or deadlift 150kg + he's pretty weak . But yea chicks dont care. So if you want that much pussy count go for hypertrophy with a little bit of strength inside ( PPL is very good for this).

Both have a lot of theory to learn , so i would advise to pick up on one subject at a time. But definitely try both(switch after 6-12 months). It also depends on your time ( PPL 4-6 days vs 3 days) .

Theory: If you start strength youtube Alan thrall to learn compound movements.

For aesthetics i always liked omarisuf , athleanx ,scotthermanfitness.

There are many more , but this is a good start.
