New Workout Ideas

[lucidblue]

I'm currently doing 5x5 and have been since August. I want to start a new routine in January. Not sure what to do. Yeah, I know this isn't very descriptive. I think I may need to lighten the weight and do more volume.

I've looked through some of the workouts in the stickies, but not sure about any of them.

Recommendations?

Hard for me to think of an answer while looking at your fine midsection.

all i can say is it's hard for me to think while looking at that fine midsection, let alone thinking of any answers to any questions.

hmmm...is there an echo in here?

Your next routine is gonna depend on your goals, what are they?

Lucid -

I've been doing 5X5 since September and making some good gains. I was planning on continuing with it until the end of February then start cutting for the summer.

Have you just grown tired of 5X5 and need some variety?

Alright. I need to lose fat. I realize I need to clean up my diet. The most I do for a diet now is try not to eat carbs after 6 during the week. I've also been eating more protein than I ever ate before. I need to come up with a diet. It can't be anything to extreme at first, because I know I won't follow it. I would like to start a diet in January, maybe just working with calorie intake and the ratio of carbs/protein/fat.

I've been doing a 5x5 since August and have had great results. I just need some variety and feel like I'm at a point where my shoulder won't handle much more weight (and it's not much to begin with) for chest and shoulder workouts. I do rotator work to try to avoid any further injury. I thought switching to lower weight and higher volume might be a good idea for a few months. I still want to gain more muslce.

The last BF caliper (not very accurate) test said I was at 25% BF. I don't think this is necessarily correct. I haven't had a chance to get a more accurate test yet. Based on the number I have I would like to lose 5-6% BF.

Here are before and after pics of me. The top row is from August 1 and the bottom from November 9. My stats are on there:
