after reading around i think SS would be a good program, need some help though!
if i am meant to keep the weight the same for 3x5 and rest up to 3 to 8 mins in between sets etc how am i meant to finish the session in an hour?
I found this spreadsheet that i can hopefully use (original novice one) and if i want to work it out in kg all i have to do is change the smallest weight increment to 2.2 (instead of 5) and the lb increases for the exercises all to 2.2 and the deadlift option to 4.5?

i am going to switch cleans with rows and is it really necessary to do all those warm ups, cant i just do my normal warmup then get on with the normal work set.
thanks

Welcome to the board. As far as rest periods go, only rest as long as you need to. 1-3 mins should be plenty if using 5 rep sets.

but i am meant to keep the weight the same throughout the 3x5 sets and there my rep maxes so surely i would need longer rest periods, that would be fine if it is one exercise but i am meant to be doing 3 exercises or in the case of power cleans/ rows 5x3

Don't over think it. Rest as long as you need in the begining in order to perform the next set/exercise. You will improve as you get better conditioning but for now work within your means, not what some program calls for. Any program has to be adjusted to the individual and is just a guide. Hard work on the basic exercises without overtraining is the key element for success. If the workout lasts too long as written perhaps reduce the number of exercises per workout. You'll know its working as long as you get stronger each time you do the exercise.
