I am 21, 165 lbs

I am looking to gain mass and strength (wanting to bulk up more)
I am currently 17% BF and plan on cutting that at some point down to 5-8%

I work 6-7 days a week at night, so I go to the gym in the morning 5 days a week around 8-10am

My Current Routine (have been told its crap):

Monday: Chest & Calves
  • 4 sets of incline dumbbell press, 8-10 reps
  • 3 sets of bench press, 8-10 reps
  • 3 sets of incline flies, 8-10 reps
  • 3 sets of chest dips until failure
  • 2 sets of standing calf raises until failure
  • 2 sets of donkey calf raises until failure
Tuesday: Legs

  • 4 sets of squats 8-10 reps
  • 3 sets of leg press
  • 3 sets of leg extensions
  • 3 sets of stiff-legged deadlifts suppersetted with leg curls
Wednesday: Biceps & Triceps

  • 4 sets of chin-ups suppersetted with barbell curls
  • 3 sets of 21’s
  • 3 sets of close-grip bench press
  • 4 sets of pulldowns
  • 3 sets of skullcrushers
Thursday: Shoulders

  • 4 sets of miliatary press suppersetted with lateral raises
  • 3 sets of upright rows
  • 3 sets of front raises
  • 3 sets of lying rear delt raises
Friday: Back

  • 3 sets of wide grip chins until failure
  • 4 sets of deadlifts
  • 3 sets of bent over rows
  • 3 sets of T-bar rows
Supplements I take : Protein, L-Arginine
Used to take creatine and NO-Xplode
Thinking of starting to take JACK3D, and starting creatine again
I also have a bottle of Clenbuterol 30ml @ 200mcg/ml for when I do cutting

I am eating as much as possible, mostly healthy.. some examples:

My diet is currently 5k+ calories a day, including the GOMAD plan.
Im eating first thing in the morning (baked potatoe, 3-5 whole eggs, grilled chicken breast, whole wheat toast)
Workout and then Immediately take protein shake
Then I go eat lunch, typically a few peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat.. lately been mixing it up with cans of tuna/salmon and making sandwiches out of that.

I generally go to work after lunch, and I take a protein shake with me to work. I eat a bowl of whole wheat pasta with a Garlic and Olive Oil/red sauce/alfredo sauce and grilled chicken added in (I work at carrabbas)

Then after work, I eat again around 3 hours after I last ate.. sometimes with another protein shake.

Ontop of all of this, im also trying to drink a gallon of whole milk a day (gomad).. and I drink water almost nonstop.
I also just bought a 2lb bag of raw almonds.. no salt, etc on them. Will be eating them between meals as snacks.

Please criticize away, I am looking to absorb as much knowledge as possible and make my workouts as successful as I can.
 
Anyone able to point out some flaws in my workout schedule, etc? I have been told my routine is less than optimal (jugger said it plain out was shit lol)

Would like to improve it as much as possible
 
Drop the arms day, and all but 1 isolation exercise per workout. Fill up a few of the gaps with more back, hip, and hamstring work.

Usually a 4 day split is fine:

Upper Push - Bench/Military/Dips/Skullcrushers
Lower Pull - Deadlifts/Good Mornings/Hyperextensions/Leg Curls
Off
Upper Pull - Hang Cleans/Pullups/Rows/Curls
Lower Push - Squats/Hack Squats/Lunges/Calves
Off
Off

Simple, and it will destroy you.
 
Thanks a bunch guys for all the information

I'm gonna go ahead and start using that routine you gave me Gaz, looks simply and beastly.

Let me know how it goes.

If you want to go the hypertrophy route for this i reccomend doing sets of 10 to 12 - 5 for the first exercise, 4 for the second, 3 for third, 2 for fourth.

Use the most weight you can do with good form. Whether the weight goes up with each set or down with each set is completely up to you, but work as hard as you can on every set. If you have an extra rep or two in the tank you'd better do them.

Thats assuming its a GOOD rep. If it's not a good clean rep, it aint a rep.
