new routine, help needed - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

at the moment its like this, but i wont nclude the routine i do as i dont know the names of the things i do lol soz!

monday : : shoulds & traps
Tuesday : : Back & Biceps
Thursday : : Chest & Triceps
Friday : : Legs

currently doing 3 different exercises for each body part with 3 sets and i'll start on 12 reps then 10 then 8

thing is ive stopped seeing gains as much recent if any at all, a few people from the gym have said i need to be doing more compound exercises and fewer reps

i assumed they where right as a fair few have said exactly the same thing and they're all big lads like

if anybody has time could they post a link to a good routine or type out a routine that has worked well for them in the past

i know everyboy reacts differently to different routines but i just want to try new things to see if it makes any difference, ive noticed a few times people talking about 5x5 etc but i dont have a clue what all that is, it might be an idea for somebody to post a link to all the "slang" you lot use if theres such a site

thanks for any help people

JUST NOTICED I POSTED THIS IN THE LADIES SECTION CAN IT BE MOVED TO THE APPROPRIATTE FORUM PLEASE HAHA

Ok, I've moved it for you.

Yes, IMO try fewer reps with heavier weights and combine muscle groups more to reduce overlap (i.e. push/pull/legs).

Check out the 2 day routine in the link in my sig. A lot of guys are doing well on this type of routine.

If you want a 3 day, you could either add an assistance day, or move to a push/pull/legs split, which works really well, assuming you have quite good recovery ability.

The main thing though, no matter what routine you're doing, is to work on progressive resistance, and to change things up when you stall.
