I have not been to my local gym in six months, due to Coronavirus.

I am eager to get started again.

1. I plan to do the 5X5 routine on StrongLifts.com:

https://stronglifts.com/5x5/

2. However, I am trying to modify just a little:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday:

5 X 5 Squats
5 X 5 Deadlifts
5 X 5 Bench
5 Sets of Chin Ups

3. I also intend to put in a superset of machines after the final set of each one:

So, leg extensions until failure, hamstring machine until failure, fly machine until failure, Lat Pull downs until failure.

4. Rest minutes for these major work sets will be five minutes.

In between, I will do the Limber 11 Routine, and Athlean-X Pelvic Tilt.

5. I am still deliberating what else to do on workout days?

More auxiliary exercises, such as Romanian Deadlifts, Incline Press, DB, etc.?

Bodyweight Finishers Like Pushups, etc.

6. What about off-days?

Walking around the neighborhood more, standard cardio, bodyweight cardio, exercise videos like Insanity?

7. Any advice or tips?
