I decided to switch the F5 Intermediate U/L LLP routine, because I'm hitting my limits on my compound lifts. However, I am still trying to cut a significant amount of weight. In addition, I loved the F5 beginner routine, so I'm confident that I'll get great results with this program as well. Lastly, I believe that I'm ready for a change. Going to the gym 3 times per week was great at first, but I've grown to enjoy lifting, so I wanted to lift more throughout the week.
Should I struggle or even get down to my goal weight of 180-185 LB, I will consider another F5 program. Hopefully, I can bulk up as cleanly as possible to 195-200 after hitting 185 to really look like I actually lift.
By now, you're all aware of davisj's program, so i'll just link his program here, rather than paste it in.

Here's how I'll log:
-I'll log maybe once or twice a week.
-Projected results for the week will be posted at the beginning of each week.
-Videos will be posted once a week on Friday or Saturday.
Gyms of choice: Planet Fitness (srs) and Crossroads Fitness. Soon to be VASA Fitness
These are my results after 6 months (took a month off of lifting in October) of running F5 Novice:

I lost about 40 pounds while doing a severe cut on the program. I'm pleased that I was able to gain strength while doing so.
I started on Wednesday night with the Upper A workout. I'll adjust both exercises and workout days for the first couple of weeks as I figure out which days I'll be playing sports/hiking and which days I'll need to spend with the GF.
Here are the results from Wednesday's workout.

I'm excited to hit Legs tonight. I don't know why but I feel as if it will be a fantastic workout.
