If my goal was to become a better or more well-rounded weight lifter/runner/soccer player... what would be the most important first couple additional exercises that I should add to my routine? I foam roll, cold shower, and eat well so I recover fast, and I'm feeling like I should be in the gym more than 3x/week.
Cold showers do something helpful? I haven't heard of that tbh.
Anyway, what you're doing sounds good to me.
Does stronglifts include power cleans? If not, that seems like an athletic lift to learn and make a major part of your program. Also, sleeping a bunch if you're doing a lot of sports along with the lifting.
