Program cycling.

Would this be considered a good plan for the next 6 months.
Would one be able to simply cycle this all year round to continue to keep challenging your body to grow.

Seems like a good plan in theory. However, when you are running SF 5x5 you might suprise yourself and keep progressing longer than the planned 8 weeks. What I am saying is that no plan should be set in stone. Once you stop progressing with one routine, then run another routine IMO.
