Folks, what would be your initial program recommendation for someone who is a newbie to Kettlebell training, but with over a decade of Barbell training experience, and no stranger to the basic bodyweight exercises (dips, pushups, chinups)? I've gotten strong, but also pretty banged up with those ever-increasing barbell loads. In fact, currently going through physical therapy to assist with some left shoulder pain (thankfully no signs of serious damage under x-ray or ultrasound).

Goal is to "look like someone who lifts" at a glance, so aesthetics/hypertrophy a little above strength or conditioning in the priority list (although I know all three will happen).

I prefer a Full-body type of routine (since that's what I've been doing for a while now), and I workout 4 days per week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays).

With that background information, is there a specific program that you would recommend I follow for at least the first few training cycles? Is there anything else you'd need to know before making a recommendation that I failed to include here in the original post?

I've seen a lot of comments in the threads here where folks mention specific types of shirts that they don't like, or don't find attractive, or some similar point. This came up again just yesterday in a discussion about Henleys. I've been curious for a while about what types of shirts the men in here consider their staples, but also which ones they avoid.

With that introduction, which shirts do you never wear? To help with this, I'll provide some examples below, but feel free to add anything that I missed that you feel strongly about.

• T-Shirts (I doubt anyone is going to pick this one, but it's here for the sake of completion, and maybe there is a specific type of T-Shirt you don't like)
• Polos
• Henleys
• Dress Shirts
• OCBDs
• Other Button-Downs
• Flannels
• Chambrays/Denims
• Western-Style Button-Ups/Downs
• Rugby Shirts
• Camp/Cuban Collar Shirts
• Tank Tops/Muscle Shirts

The Athletic Taper Flint and Tinder 5-Pocket Pants that I have loved (and have several pairs of) are now just a little loose around the waist, but much too snug around the thighs and rear. They have a Classic F1T option, but unfortunately those don't come in the colors that I'm looking for. This predicament brings me to the question:

What brands and models do y'all prefer for your more relaxed f!t pants (mostly chinos or chino adjacent styles)? Bonus points if they're a bit higher in the rise.

If it helps any, my current measurements are a 34" waist (across the naval), and 24" thighs. 70" tall, and 170 pounds.
