5-6 days a week of doing this is to much in terms of the progression curve of the program and the purpose of it and recovery time etc. Also while I am an advocate of adding in assistance exercises to Stronglifts (this was part of the original strong lifts information anyway) it should be limited to 3 assistance per day really.
With regards to deadlifting yes form is very crucial to get on point. Can you record a set or two and post it up for feedback? Plenty of knowledge on here to help. Also with deadlifts 1x5 working sets isn't enough, this is pretty much the most common point with Stronglifts as an error, do 3x5 working sets.
Back to 5-6 times training per week, you really would be suited to using the off days for light cardio work, mobility, stretching, rather then always lifting, especially as the Stronglifts program is a full body routine.
Hi Syla5, appreciate your comments. The reality I'm probably doing one of these two workouts maybe 3-4 times a week and as you say, I have some rest days and also days where I do cardio or a kettle bell/mobility focused workout. What I would say is that this is probably my third time round as a novice lifter, so some of these exercises aren't massively challenging to me, although some are. Squat, for example, I think I could increase up to 90 kg or more without worrying about it but I'm at my limit with the bench press (55 kg as of yesterday I think).
Regarding deadlifts, I have a gym induction thing tonight and I'm basically going to say, can you just go through my routine with me and tell me what I should be doing form-wise. I'll try and get a video but hopefully whoever I see will help me as feedback whilst I'm doing it will help. I take the feedback about the quantity and will up it to 3x5 working sets.
I've switched the bent rows to Pendlay rows btw. I used to do these with Stronglifts when I did the program, and just reading about them they seem much better for your lower back and should help my deadlift form.
