SS every other day?

[cskolnick]

Coach,
If someone, a novice, was to put enough effort into recovery could they do the SS program every other day (as opposed to 3 day a week) if they felt the need to to make quicker strength/size gains or would that be overkill?
Thanks

No, that's fine. One extra day of rest doesn't make that much difference to a novice.
