Thread: advice on training

Looks pretty good. I would substitute the "tricep push downs" with dips. Reduce chest sets by 1-2 sets and add 1-2 more sets for shoulders. I'd also try to throw in some deadlifts in there and some trap work. Personally I like rack pulls for traps but shruggs work for many. Also, if it were me I'd probably stick to the 6-12 rep range, rather than 5-8 rep range, especially for squats.

i'm naturally very ectomorphic, i've experimented with most rep ranges but seem to get best results with 5-8. Is it enough sets?

i would do set of both...5-8 and 8-12 alternating back and forth 1-2 wks at a time. strength and some size will comes from a lower rep range but bulk of size will be in your 8-12 area.... so both would be better IMO

Personally I would do an ABC week and throw legs on a different day than chest. Is there a reason squats is the only thing you do for legs?
He-Man over at MD came up with HOSS training and it's similar. That was the first time I really started getting big and strong I highly recommend it. I was about the same size as you when i started it and I got to 200 for the first time

Here's a link from Google to some other guy who plagiarized it..

H.O.S.S Training Program - great for beginners and advanced trainers!!!

it depends what do you mean by bulk and why someone who has a fit body wants to get fat because at this rythm you will get fat ...bulking with muscles is a slow process and is not attained by overeating..when you rush it it is all fat...pros or people who are on juice and many additional hormonal crap can only bulk quickly with muscles and minimal fat gains.
you don't have to wolf down food that much and workout normally : do legs alone in one day the whole thing not only squat , you can do chest shoulders triceps one day concentrating on the heavy lifts like bench, military press, close grip bench and adding in some lighter lifts, then do back biceps on another day concentrating again on heavy lifts like pull down and rows etc..

Or you can do legs alone then next day back and chest together then rest day then do arms (biceps triceps) then rest then shoulders.

basically i would do legs alone

the issue i have with your method bjg is that way you do each body part only once per week, from what i;ve read and experienced this isn't optimal, most research points to bodyparts being done twice a week with less volume.
