    workout 1
    Deadlifts 3x6-8
    chinups 3x6-8
    close grip cable rows 3x6-8
    bicep curls 3x6-8

    workout 2
    Bench press 3x6-8
    shoulder press 3x6-8
    tricep dips 3x6-8
    narrow grip 2x6-8

    workout 3
    squats 4x6-8
    leg press 3x6-8
    note i didn't put in a hamstring exercise as deadlifts and squats cover them pretty well


    il be taking all sets to failure....what you think bear in mind my arms do not grow from compounds alone so thats why i have direct arm work. i will also target 6 reps every first set and when i can get past 8 il add more weight

    I wouldn't train to failure every workout. You end up overtraining with that method.

    oh i forgot to ask would it be more beneficial so i ramp up to my maxes.

    for example Deadlift:

    now you start all the lifts a little lower than your best (ie. very easy on the 1st week)...

    taking the deadlift example - your last PB might be 200kg for 6 reps....

    So you would probably knock it down to about 180 and add 5 kg on each week... you might at the end of this loading period make 205 or 210 for 6 reps and then deload when I'm not making any more strength gains?
