I've played around with different routines and have found that a push/pull/legs routine works best for me so i've been doing the following for size/strength:
Sunday: Chest, shoulders, and Tris
Bench press - 3 sets of six
incline bench - 3 sets of six
dumbell press - 3 sets at 8, 6, 6
Skull Crushers - 3 sets of 8, 6, 6
abs
Tuesday: back and biceps
Pull downs - 3 sets of six
pull ups - 3 sets at 10, 8, 6
Cable rows - again, 3 sets of 6
preacher curls - 2 sets of 8 and 6
Thursday: Legs
Backsquat - 8, 6, 6
Hamstring curl - 8, 6, 6
calves then abs
I also do cardio before my workouts on sundays and tuesdays. I've more or less tried to stick with heavy compound movements with this one with one or two exceptions. Also, the weight on my reps has been increasing but I'm still bumping it up the same between each set that I have been since I started training (i.e. ten lbs). This means I basically start heavy (for me at least) and end heavy. Should I move to a percentage and spread out the weight more in my sets? Feel free to critique/rip it a new one. Thanks in advance for the replies.
P.S. from what I've seen on this site, it's full of good info so I'm glad to be here
