Please don't do 5x5 if you are starting out. Training only the big lifts heavy when you are starting out and have little knowledge about form is a highway to injury. And most of your strength work will not translate to hypertrophy.

You can train a lot of muscles if all you have are free weights + bench. Simply search, "Home workouts Dr. Mike" on YouTube.

Stronglifts 5x5 starts you on an empty bar. There are tons of form videos online, and anyone can videotape themselves to see how they compare. Seems like injury is easily avoided by anyone with a modicum of interest in doing so.
