robbo8 · 22-06-2008, 11:14 AM

Hi I've been going to a gym for 2 years now and made slight gains but really want to start on a strict routine now and bulk. Id appreciate it if you could critique my gym routine (push/pull/legs), which i'm fairly happy with!!

My main questions are what rep/set scheme to carry out on each excersise and if any other excersises need adding?

My height is 5'8
Weight 11st 10lbs
bf 13 approx

Push
Flat Bench Press
Incline Bench Press
Seated Overhead Press
Dips
CGBP

Pull
Deadlift
Chins
BB Row
Shrugs
Curls

Legs
Squats
SLDL
Lunges
Calf Raise
Crunches

the routine doesnt look terrible but I am wondering if you are bulking why there is no reference to your calorie increases required to bulk

Welcome mate

Yeh thats bread and butter 3 dayer...you may even look to go 3 full body routines and drop out the isolations

rep range with all in for size 3 x 8-12 with 12 being on the isolations

if its strength you want drop the isolations and do5 and below reps

Thats a very brief suggestion BTW

Seated Overhead Press 4x8
