Stronglifts and yoga

Stronglifts and yoga are a great combo to prepare for heavier lifting later down the line. Stronglifts will build the core of your program while Yoga will take care of rehabilitation. Your strength and mobility will increase with comparatively very little time consumption. If you are mainly after developing a six pack quick, this might not be the best route to travel.

Deadlift vs barbell row

 

The barbell row is an excellent accessory exercise for people who are interested in raw strength. The deadlift will build the core of at least one training day in your daily routine if you want to become big and strong. I personally would not design an entire training day around the barbell row.

Stronglifts and cycling

 

Stronglifts and cycling is a good combination to keep generally fit. Avoid starting both from scratch. Pick whether cardio or strength is more important to you and build a routine for that before latching another regime onto it.

Deadlift vs Sumo

Technically the sumo deadlift is a deadlift. Therefore the question has to be reformulated to conventional vs sumo. Generally, the sumo deadlift is easier on your back while both generate great strength. It comes down to personal preference for your strength goals.
