    While running SS, I would do my warm up sets for the next exercise during my rest periods, made the 8 minutes go by faster and saved me time in the gym.

    I've just started the programme and at the minute until it gets harder I did a few extra sets after the 5x5.

    Don't know if you're still checking this, but I finished week 7 and I'm still jogging on the days between lift days. Hope you're enjoying the program!

    Stick with the program til gains stop. Its designed to get you stronger and add muscle mass along with it using the most efficient path to get there through basic full body barbell exercises. Its a beginner program. when gains stop after hitting your nutrition targets changing your routine around makes sense. Not sticking with a program is biggest reason folks don't get results with weight training.
