    Personal Info:
    Exp: Intermediate (trained sporadically this year due to my schedule)
    Height: 6' 1"
    Weight: 200-202lbs
    Age: 30's

    Goals:
    Reduce BF for health reasons.

    High rep upper body exercises are useless for me which is why I'm doing a 1x5 or 3x5 set rep scheme.

    I made adjustments to my routine. I can't squat and DL during the same session at this weight. My quads, hams, and glutes were fried after I squatted today.

    DB Bench Press 1x5x60lbs
    Full Squat 1x20x196lbs

    This is what the third session of the week will resemble.
