on cycle... 5x5 off cycle... new routine

[hammer53]

yeah so ill be finishing a 10 week prop cycle in the next week, but continue to cut (calorie deficient but high protein diet with mucho cardio) and have using a 5x5 3-4 day split for the past 5 weeks or so. After i complete this cycle i was thinking about moving to a different routine with higher reps and lighter weights 4-5 day split, with less rest between most sets to keep my heart rate up and hopefully burn more calories. since this cycle was a cutter, i havent gained too much in size as I have gained more definition and lower bf%.

should i keep with the 5x5 or switch to a higher intensity routine. my goals are to continue to lower bf% and cut. i will be getting some bloodwork done in 5 weeks and if everything is where it should be, i will cut my off cycle in half and begin the next cycle in my sig. so it would only be a 5 - 6 week routine change, then I'd go back to the 5x5....

anyway wanted some comments about this idea, flames, or what have you!

if it aint broke dont fix it... but 5x5 may grow old and stale and you could plateau

didn't I read in another post that you were having problems benching 225. why don't you chill out on the juice and get your eating/training in check

i can without a doubt say my diet is in check... but my training can use some help, it isnt perfect but has been effective...

since today is my last day of my cycle, i thought i'd use the time to solve the problems i may have. i have plenty of years of "lifting" but actual strict training ~ 2 years, and I never used a PT, which I probably should.
