What lifting program is best for aesthetics in your opinion?

I'd say hypertrophy.

Compound movements + accessory work.

Aesthetics are a result of good proportions (genetics play an huge role) and low body fat.

Focus on your lats and delts. Without those muscles well developed you won't look aesthetic.

I really like Lyle Mcdonald's Bulking Routine. It's pretty balanced with medium volume for heavy compound lifts and hypertrophy for accessory work, although I would advise throwing in some additional delt work.

Mass and muscle base is key. After gaining some mass, Id just cut down and voila.

Greyskull LP with a strict adherence to the bodyweight "homework" on non lifting days. Rotate flat barbell bench for incline.

3 lifting days per week, 3 bodyweight "homework" days per week, 1 rest day.

The answer to your question is going to be unique to each person, but in my opinion I looked the best aesthetically when I was heavily involved in CrossFit. So, if just looking as good as you can naked is the goal, I would recommend any kind of HIIT program.

But again, your mileage may vary. If you’re a naturally bigger guy, but struggle with extra pounds of fat on your body, then you’d focus more on cardio and weight loss to look good. If you’re a hard gainer who is naturally very skinny and lean, then you’d probably need to go with a bodybuilding program to add on mass.

5x5 program. I picked ICF 5x5 with slight modifications.

Gained 30 lbs, so far.

Been gaining compliments from my peers, and strangers.

Don't let it fool you, this takes hard work, and dedication. I still never feel satisfied with my goals, nor my physique.

Start with 5x5 for 3 months. Be sure to eat surplus of calories and plenty of sleep. You need to learn to walk before you run.

Personally doing some linear progression program I found on reddit, and i've been making good gains on that.

Search `A Linear Progression Based PPL Program for Beginners`

I've heard GREAT things about the GVT (German Volume Training) 10x10 methid from naturals. Check it out.

I used to lift heavy when I played sports in college. Body took a beating. Now I have a much more refined and isolation based approach. It's awesome for aesthetics but not designed for maximum strength. My goal is more the swimmer / wide receiver / underwear model look and I'm exactly where I wanna be right now.
