    I usually do 3 sets per exercise with a rep range from 4-8. I have been doing most sets to failure with the exception of bench and squat (no spotter).

    I have been eating very clean, and have been using ON 100% whey since I started this about a month ago and also have been taking creatine monohydrate for about 2 weeks now. I have noticed respectable gains and loss of fat, but I just wanted input on what you guys think about my routine, and what I can do to make it better.

    Thanks

    Too much volume. Most sets to failure? If you're using steroids, the routine is just fine.
