For a person who weighs 59kg, 170 cm and is completely new to weight training and have never lifted weights before, is it a good idea to straightaway begin on the Stronglifts 5x5 program?
The main goal is to gain weight till 70kg or more and to get bigger in body size.

Im speaking from experience, that you should probably start lower.
I mean you can, but you will probably get overwhelmed and burn out. (most people, including me tongue.gif )

Start small with 10kg dumbbells first.
Dont rush, give it time.

Make sure your form is perfect, and when you drop sets (cant do perfect form), do lighter weights.
This way is slower, but it is more manageable especially if you have a busy schedule.
