my full body routine

massappeal · 06-22-2009, 02:03 PM

im starting on my bulk and would like to hear what you guys think about my routine. im doing a 3 day full body workout. i will be working out on tue,wed,thu. i know this is not a good schedule(working out 3 days in a row) but these are the only days that my school gym is open.

a sample workout day would look like this:

squats - 3 sets
bench press - 3 sets
pendlay rows - 3 sets
military press - 3 sets
bb triceps extension - 2 sets
bb/db curl - 2 sets
bb/db shrugs - 2 sets

reps will change from time to time and exercises will also change(but mostly compound of course). i like to mix things up. i also like to do cardio for 30-45 mins on my off days and maybe some ab workout.
are 3 sets not enough, too much? what do you guys think?
thanks

Get some kind of hip-dominant exercise in there IMO. I also don't know that you need to have 2 pressing movements like that in every workout. It may really tax your shoulders. Maybe alternate military and bench pressing for periods of time.

I would add deads and get rid of shrugs. Replace them with rack pulls or hang cleans.
