5x5 is always nice don't get me wrong there. I guess i should have mentioned my goals.

Just looking for something more endurance/resistance training. I have the mass probably more than i should, a leaner look would be nice.

I know its all in diet and i agree but im still confused about the comparison between hard muscle and soft muscle. In my mind if i were to lose body fat i don't think id be left with a hard feel to my muscles. Of course when i flex its all fine and dandy but other than that they aren't. Ive done some research about the fibers in your muscles and how much is worked will contribute to less softer muscle.
