Nah. Much too complicated.

No. Strong lifts. You need to get used to dedication and PPL is a bit harder. SL is a good solid program. Stick with that for at least 3 months.

No too stressful for the body.Start with stronglifts

Yes in my opinion, just not too much volume in each session focus on the high frequency (hitting each muscle group twice a week) to maximise hypertrophy

I'd also recommend a Strong Lifts type routine, with maybe some accessories thrown in for the first month or 2. Once you're comfortable with the lifts and consistency, you can move up to working out more than 3x a week.

For a SL type routine, I liked this one in the past. It's a modified SL 5x5 with accessories after the main compound lifts.

As far as a PPL routine, I've really enjoyed this one:
