Took my own advice
I've finally bitten the bullet and taken my own advise.
Rather than bitch and complain about my lack of progress I decided to dig up my copy of "The Action Hero Body" to help me formulate new routine.
Although I was well into my routine for almost a year when I picked up the book I started at "Stage 2" because I still have more than 10 pounds of fat to lose before I reached my target weight.
Because it was easy to follow the routine I got lazy with it. This is where I made my error though. Following the book was much easier than following myself and I stopped tracking my workouts and developing new ones.
I reached my target weight of 160 lbs about a while ago but I stayed in the Stage 2 portion of the program. Yes, I've obviously still been gaining muscle because my weight remains static at 160 but (as of last night) my body fat is down to 14.6%.
So, with book-in-hand I spent my hour and a half crafting my new 4 day a week routine. I finished day 2 last night and my entire upper body is so sore (which is what I want).
Day 1: Chest, light arms
Day 2: Back, light arms
day of rest
Day 3: Shoulds and arms
Day 4: Legs
I still need to lose 8 lbs of fat OR gain 7.36 lbs of muscle to reach my goal of 10% body fat.
