What's the best program for bulking up/gaining muscle mass? Is Starting Strength good?
It is entirely dependent on your individual body.
When starting out, Strength training (low reps, high weight) can work great for some people with high metabolisms who lack both muscle and body fat (basically, really skinny guys.)
I assume you saw my pics in the Fitness group, would you say Starting Strength is a good program for me to use?
You said you've been stronglifting 5x5 for the summer, right?
I think it's time you change it up. First of all, you even said you didn't see much in gains when strength training during the summer. That alone is reason enough to try something else. Furthermore, you look like you enough muscle on your bones as it is.
I'd try a more conventional routine. Try your lifts at 3x8, and so about 12 sets per muscle group per week. If you head back to the group we can talk about this in more detail.
