Elliptical trainer OR jogging on treadmill POST 5x5?

[Rockfella]

As the title says ...... i was wondering what should i do? jog after workout or do the Elliptical trainer? My goal is to gain weight/muscle but loose tummy fat @ the same time.
I try to run post workout 2 times a week... tue/ sat.
TIA.

I'd choose elliptical, only for the fact I wouldnt fancy running on a treadmill after squats

Plus I wouldnt really count on both gaining muscle and loosing fat at the same time - while possible, its better to pick one path and stick with it til its through

The whole 5 x 5 says it is possible that'swhy i am focussing on it both though i know it is a bit difficult! So u think i should stop running?????

I used to run for 30 minutes at a time, sometimes twice a day. 9th week of SL5x5 and I'm finding it hard to do 15 minutes treadmill (although, to be fair, I do quite a demanding running routine). I don't push it any more than that because running when tired is a great way to injure yourself. I may switch to the elliptical trainer because it's lower impact and I'd be able to do it a bit longer.

The problem with me is my right shoulder is injured... it is improving but I can't BP and OHP as of now so my workouts are shorter comparatively as of now as I squat, DL, Inverted rows, chin/pulls, bench dips and ab work. I have noticed it is easier to run after workouts (as of now perhaps because of the low number of exercises I do). I am honestly confused, I am not that fat. @ 5’7” by waist from the belly button is 36” so it is huge I think. Shall I fully stop cardio and focus solely on strength building or shall I continue running? Also once I am strong enough I ultimately want to do HIIT Sprints but feel that won’t be possible if I totally stop running post workout now. Need to build stamina till I start HIIT! What do u suggest?
Many thanks.

Also what I like to do is increase speed on the TM after I reach 20 mins constant running. Like once I am able to run for 20 mins, I increase the speed on the TM by .2 or .1km/hr. From 7.5 km/ph to maybe 7.6 or 7.7. get down to 15 mins, build from there increasing 1 min every workout. Is that a good way?
