I've decided to change things up a bit, as of late. I was going to slightly modify my Baby Got Back routine, but instead I'm going to go with a new approach. Baby Got Back is great for maintaining lean muscle while try to cut down a little, but I need to get my strength back up. So I'm going to go out on a limb and do a little strength/hypertrophy cocktail.
And then repeat, obviously. My strength days are only going to be about 15 working sets, and they're all going to be using the 5x5 technique and focusing on basic movements. My hypertrophy days are going to be much higher volume, shy of failure, and in the 8-15 rep range.
Any questions/comments please feel free to post.

Eh, slipped on the last set. My strength here was down because I did the flat DB presses first. I'm going to shoot for the 110's next week on the flat DB presses and probably +80 on the dips, see how that goes.
