I'm thinking about changing my routine, & I'd really love your opinion. I posted this in OD:
I am gonna try a high rep/light weight routine for maybe 6-8 weeks. The RT pics pretty much sealed the deal for me--I do think I'm looking too bulky, & not all from muscle LOL. I'm carrying an extra 10 lbs of fat that needs to go too. I swear I look like a pinhead in those pics, like my head is too small for a body that's too large!
So the plan is to take my current routine & switch from 3 sets 8-10 to one set 20-25 for each exercise. I do 4 exercises per bodypart, except for legs, I do 6 exercises for legs. I'm hoping if I do this routine circuit-style it'll reduce size, boost my metabolism & give me a slimmer, leaner look. Kind of my own STS.
And maybe have the added benefit of reducing my workout time, b/c at this point it's like a part time job.
Also I think I'm gonna try Cathe's nutrition thing a shot, esp. after reading yesterday's thread. Seems like folks are getting pretty good results pretty quickly, although my body seems pretty diet-resistent these days.
Wish me luck, I'll keep you posted on the results! (hopefully there WILL be results!)

Good idea? Bad idea? Anything you'd change? You know I can't put a price on your advice!
