    how does my routine look

    First let me introduce myself, I'm 21 weigh 234IBS and am 6'4. Im in the air force and have been working out since about 10th grade in high school. When i started to work out i weighed 160 pounds so I guess I can say i made some good progress. The problem is, over the last few months i have been having trouble gaining any more muscle. I have also realized my workout routine wasnt the best for maximum gains.

    my old workout looked something like this

    mon-chest
    bb press 4x12,10,8,6 with increasing weight
    incline db press " " "
    cable flys '' " "

    tues-back
    pullups however many sets it takes to get to 50
    cable rows 4x12,10,8,6 increasing weight
    shrugs 4x10
    deadlift 4x10

    wed-off

    thurs-bi's/tri's
    bb curl 4x12,10,8,6 increase weight
    preacher curl " " "
    concentration curl " " "
    skullcrushers " " "
    tricep pulldown " " "
    tricep extentions 4x10

    fri-shoulders
    db shoulder press 4x12,10,8,6 increasing weight
    vertical ez bar raise " " "
    lateral raise " " "

    sat-legs
    squat 4x12,10,8,6
    leg press " " "
    leg curls " " "


    i know that is mostly overtraining so my new wo routine is looking like this

    mon-fullbody
    squat 3x6
    bb press 3x6
    db shoulder press 3x6
    skull crushers 3x6
    leg curls 3x6

    tues-off

    wed-fullbody
    pullups-3x6
    leg press 3x6
    cable rows 3x6
    deadlift 3x6
    bb curl 3x6

    fri-repeat mon
    sat,sun off next monday reverse

    Feel free to critique it as I am looking for any advice or knowledge thanks

    Exercise selection on the new program looks much better, though personally i'd switch Cable Rows with DB Rows, and switch Leg Press to some sort of Lunge.

    Dont use the same Sets x Reps configuration the whole time though. Try undulating periodization, so like:

    Mon - 5x4
    Wed - 3x12
    Fri - 4x8

    Week 1 - Full Body A, Full Body B, Full Body A
    Week 2 - Full Body B, Full Body A, Full Body B

    Or something.

    I'd also move Deadlifts to the start of Fullbody B.

    Have you read the training stickies?
