For instance when doing the starr 5x5, every week after my original PR i was increasing by 5lbs or so. Doing SE training, I was lucky if I added a set every two or 3 weeks. Have you been seeing the same type of thing?
sometime if that happens I just do the same time next workout till I can get all the set in the time frame. Another option is to cut the time down by 15 seconds and stay there till you are able to do all the reps and sets in the time frame. So if you cut from 60 seconds to 45 you don't cut down to 30 second till you can do everything in the time frame. I feel that is a little too aggressive and I like doing the 5 second cuts more.

What I might do after I hit 10 seconds rest is take the weight I'm using and do a DC style day and see how many sets reps I can do, Then deload big time.
