Is this a question? If you want an athletic kinda program that involves conditioning ax1 is good but if you want a good solid weight program Starting Strength or Strong Lifts is better.

Stronglifts 5x5 maybe? It is an easy one, and it focuses on compound movements

AX-1 is not a traditional program it’s a very weird one and costs a bunch. It will get you in shape all around though in all categories. It’s mostly suited for athletes and such.

Id reccomend you StrongLifts or Starting Strength either works if you want a traditional lifting program

Where can i find starting strength?

Starting strength is basically

Squats 5reps x 3sets
Bench 5reps x 3 sets or depending on the week OHP 5 reps x 3 sets
Dead lift 5reps x 3 sets
Then add other exercises like power clean and chin ups and adding wieght every week.here is a the website which goes into more detail https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs Theres also a book and they also have a youtube channel explaining the lifts.

5x5 has an app on android and ios and guides you more and shows you how to do the exercises
It is basically the same just some other exercises like the barbell row and rep scheme is 5 reps and 5 sets
There both good programs for beginners in my opinion.There is also a thread which is in the best of the best section which goes into a push pull legs program.

In my opinion for just general fitness and strength you should stick to 5 months or until you can't increase the weight of your lifts at all weekly or reached a standard fitness level like 2 plates on bench etc then switch to a push pull legs or intermittent strength program like wendlers 5/3/1 (Dont know much about it and can't find much about it but is recommended after 5x5 etc https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/531-how-to-build-pure-strength )which is what most people follow after doing starting strength or 5x5 at least powerlifters and such

But for looksmaxxing purposes which is about aesthetics (size) and not much about strength(not saying you cant build size with just heavy lifting) i'd say 2-4 months to familiarize yourself with the basic movements and build some strength and then switch to something for hypertrophy like Push Pull Legs or Upper Lower(Jeremy Either and athlean x have some routines)



TLDR if you want strength stick to it for 5 months then switch to intermittent program
if for looksmaxxing stick to it for 2-4 months then switch a hypertrophy program PPL etc
