    Please suggest a training routine!!!

    Hi all,
    I realise that many people will have asked this and then been told to read up on it etc but i have gone down this route and i am more confused lol!! Specifically i am not sure what order to do excercises in without compromising others. Can someone please suggest a three day split routine for me, i have a barbell and dumbells, bench, squat rack, treadmill and i train at home. My goals are to gain mass. I am 5'9 and weigh 210lbs (yes i need to lose some fat lol) i wouldnt say i was a hard gainer and i seem to recover fairly quickly.

    I am hopeing someone can suggest a routine that others can comment on and ammend such that a "great" routine will be produced. I realise it wont be the holy grail of routines but it will start me off in the right direction etc.
    Thanks for ya help,
    Boomster

    I'd suggest doing basic full body workouts, Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. Your main thing right now should be getting your diet in order and drop some of that weight.

    I'll post what I do, it's based on goals of building power. I'm sure a lot of people will have problems with it, so just wait until a few people take a look and post something about it to make sure I didn't screw up too badly. Weights will probably be adjusted because being the exact same strength would be a little weird, but I'd recommend not changing the sets_x_reps scheme.

    Day One (Pwr): Deadlifts 2x3 (155), 3x2 (285); Spider Curls 2x3 (55), 3x2 (80); Military Presses 2x3 (40), 3x2 (60)
    Day Two: Off
    Day Three (Pwr): Dumbbell Presses 2x3 (80), 3x2 (120); Flies 2x3 (20), 3x2 (30); Arnold Presses 2x3 (40), 3x2 (60); Sit Ups 3x5 (35)
    Day Four: Off
    Day Five (Pwr): Squats 2x3 (135), 3x2 (230); Practice Cleans; Good Mornings 2x3 (45), 3x2 (65); Sit Ups 3x5 (35)
    Day Six: Off
    Day Seven: Off
    Day Eight (Sp): Deadlifts 2x3 (115), 8x2 (155); Spider Curls 2x3 (45), 8x2 (60); Military Presses 2x3 (30), 8x2 (40)
    Day Nine: Run highest setting, goal: 2 min
    Day Ten (Sp): Dumbbell Presses 2x3 (40), 8x2 (60); Flies 2x3 (10), 8x2 (20); Arnold Presses 2x3 (30), 8x2 (40); Sit Ups 3x8 (15)
    Day Eleven: Off
    Day Twelve (Sp): Squats 2x3 (105), 8x2 (135); Practice Cleans; Good Mornings 2x3 (45), 8x2 (55); Sit Ups 3x8 (15)
    Day Thirteen: Off
    Day Fourteen: Off

    Sp means it's a day focusing on speed; lift the weight as fast as you can with as much force as you can without compromising form; use about 50-60% of your 1RM. Pwr means it's a day focusing on power; lift as much weight as you can for the given sets and reps without comprimising form or hurting yourself; use about 90-95% of your 1RM. Let me know if you have any questions.
    Push yourself. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself.
