STS Workouts

Hi,
I've recently joined this group. I've never eaten more to weigh less, so this concept is new to me and I'm preparing myself to start but want to make sure I have a planned workout in place.
I have some experience of lifting heavy 5x5, I would not consider myself a beginner, more intermediate. After a long break of not training regularly I'm back and squatting 55kg, bench 35kg, deadlift 60kg and increasing my weight each workout to get back to my maximum lifts.
Just wondering if STS is the right thing for me. I like the fact that the workouts are different each time as I get bored, and I like knowing exactly what I'm going to do when I get to the gym.
I see it is recommended by EMTWL - just wondered if anyone could give some feedback on it as its going to cost about £110 for that bundle (1,2,3 and squat rack option).
I'm open to other suggestions too.
Thanks

It's just fine - doesn't raise your daily calorie burn as much as cardio might, so with deficit you get to eat less than otherwise.
But if you can handle it - it's great resistance training that you need in a deficit.
Now - if you haven't lost lots of muscle mass from repeated yo-yo diets through the years - the need to add back muscle may not be there, just maintaining what you got could be fine.
And you'd like to eat more because you burn more daily on average.
In which case circuit training would be the way to go, as it is even better about wiping out glucose stores in the muscles - which helps with insulin sensitivity improving.
But same full-body routines, machines can be useful, though fast plate changes on bar is possible too.
If you don't care about not getting back up to your old weight lifting levels yet, then this.
