I just read all the info on the strong lifts 5x5 thread. I am currently doing SL 5x5 3x a week, progressing nicely. Have a full body weight training class 2 nights a week (moderate to light weight, high reps), usually run/walk 2 days a week for 3miles. Primary goal is fat loss. Eating at a deficit, macros set, per Sara's advice. Would you recommend a different program for my goals instead of strong lifts?

    Are your lifts going up?
    Is your bodyweight going down?
    Do you enjoy your routine?

    Then provided you are making the proper dietary adjustments I would not suggest program switching.
