Yes follow the Rippletoe routine and get big legs and tiny upper body, this is exactly what every guy who enters the gym is looking for.

I don't know why I always see strength focused routines being promoted when probably 95% of dudes who start working out do so because they want to be ripped.

Do a push/pull/legs routine (I like https://www.themuscleprogram.com/push-pull-legs-workout/ but I do deadlifts on pull day instead of legs day) and eat a massive amount of healthy food (protein, fruits/veggies, good carbs) til you build up that muscle, then do something like intermittent fasting/caloric deficit to drop the fat once you've put on the muscle.

Or go the Rippetoe route and wonder why the dude at the gym next to you is getting more swole even though you're picking up more weight. Your choice!
