    I need help.

    I'm tired of being lanky and I've dabbled in the gym for a few years but I really want to crack down on my routine and start adding some clean size...I want to go on a VERY VERY VERY lean mass bulk.

    I'm on a pull/off/legs/off/push/off/off split, with cardio on 3 of the days off. But my routine was slaughtered when I posted it so I'm gonna just dump it. I looked around at the board and saw some workouts that I liked, and totally jacked this from somebody else. Anyways, I'm looking to gain size and strength...

    But I would probably change the order of the days I do the exercises on to this, because this is what they recommended to him.

    Week 1

    Mon - Ham Dom (4/10 reps)
    Tue - Push Dom (6/12 reps)
    Thur - Quad Dom (6/12 reps)
    Fri - Pull Dom (4/10 reps)

    Week 2

    Mon - Push Dom (4/10 reps)
    Tue- Ham Dom (6/12 reps)
    Thur- Pull Dom (6/12 reps)
    Fri - Quad Dom (4/10 reps)




    I might alter it to a M/Tue/cardio/Thur/cardio/Sat/cardio split though, because I will be doing cardio to limit the amount of fat that I gain. I want this to be VERY VERY lean. My diet is right where it needs to be.

    QUESTION REGARDING CARDIO: Jogging no longer seems to have a great cardiovascular effect on me...even if I'm trying to gain weight, albeit slightly, is it wise for me to do HIIT cardio? or is taht strictly for cutting?

    I continue using anaerobic forms of cardio while I am bulking, I just eat more food to compensate. I like to keep my activity levels high so I can get loose on my diet occasionally without body fat getting out of control. As well, I like to maintain a high level of conditioning.

    HIIT 1-2 days per week would be fine in your case, in my opinion. Just realize that you will have to eat more food to make up for those calories that you'll be using.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
