help/advise my training

[kiixp]

I joined the gym almost a year ago at about..135 pounds.. at that time i was only able to bench about 120 curl with 25 dumbells

i weigh 155-160 and am 5'11 (could use extra 10-20 pounds) and am 19, schoolin in a community college.

I gained a little bit of weight and also gained a significant amount of strength.. but right now I'm trying to gain more mass and seems like progress is slow or i am having no progress at all.

My workout routine in 7 days (sry bout the listing below.. I dont know some of the weightlifting excercise names/machines- is there a site where i can view the names and such lol)

day 1
dumbell flies 3 sets of 10 with 55pounds dumbells
2 sets 10 reps of decline bench 135 lbs
3 sets 10 reps of regular benchpress 135
2-3 sets 10 reps of incline dumbell 45 lbs
3 sets 10 reps of tricept machine.. 80-90 lbs
2 sets of 8 dips
shoulders with dumbells / machines

day 2-3
Rest

day 3-4 (If i feel okay on day 3 i do a workout instead of resting)
3 sets 7 reps of regular standing curls with 40lbs dumbells
3 sets 10 reps of standing barbell 50ish lbs
2 sets 10 hammer heads (curls) 30 lbs
and i basically run around hittin all kinda curl routines :T
2-3 sets 8 reps of back with machine

day 4 rest

day 5
repeat from day 1

I dont work out legs ^^

i recently bought a shake that gives 600 calories 52g protein.. which i take in different portions during the day and after a workout / before i sleep. thinking of buying creatine..

Well thats bascially my workout.. trying to gain weight and such.. please gimme some advise on my training session, thanks.

Looks fine except for the fact that ur not training legs or back, which are the 2 largest muscle groups, i would change that schedule to include a back and leg day inbetween.

Your routine is garbage, plain and simple. It's basically a bench press & curl routine. Far too many people try to get an appreciable amount of size without hitting all the major muscle groups in the body. Bad idea, unless you like an unbalanced looking physique and increased chance of injury.

Your body likes balance. It is hard enough to stimulate your body into growth in the first place, but getting 18" arms with 20" thighs is, most likely, not something that your body is going to let happen. Furthermore, you are giving up the release of anabolic hormones that comes along with training large muscle groups.

You need to redesign your split routine:

Furthermore, weight gainers are crap. Don't bother with supplements unless your diet is in order. Read this:

I am by NO means an expert, but my initial reaction to this was thinking along the same lines.

crappy routine. your weight gain so far looks good, what do you expect? plateaus happen man. takes years usually to get where you want.
