I think what you've heard is pretty close to on the money. Upper/lower splits are a useful alternative to periodized full bodies for intermediates though.

And beyond how over done and boring this...

Great going, mate, keep it up.

As long as you keep protein high and meals frequent I don't think there's any reason you can't lose a LB+ a week and gain quite a bit of muscle on this program at...

By the times the weights get heavy it'll take an hour+.

Probably allot like yours, Im guessing. :)

1) Deload & make your next 3 weeks of training EASY.
2) Lower reps
3) higher frequency.
4) food.

Sure, but people who are gonna fuuck things up are gonna fuuck things up. A couple sets of curls is entirely peripheral to that. Lying about that won't help the fools or hurt the people with the...

I put an inch & a half on my arms on SS. Others have put on more. Your entire body will grow. People just have warped perceptions and expectations on arm size, expectation of arm SHAPE, independent...

Adding curls is fine. To say a few sets of curls a week is gonna **** up progress, if you're eating as much as you should be is pure dogmatism and makes people look silly. IMO....

210 bench
280 squat
400 dead
120 curl

Those seem like reasonable goals to me by may, if you're just starting. You'll need to play it by ear though and adjust them as you go. Poundage goals are...

Fundamentally there's no difference in the basic approach, beyond being even more wary of high volume. It just might be more difficult and take longer. I'm 6'1 with 6.0" wrists. Is there anyone here...

Good advice. Switching to 5x3 for a bit until you stall on that, probably at about 145, and then dropping back to the original 3x5 weight is an especially good option.

OP: do as you like but be aware that nobody your height looks physically attractive below 170lb. That's what say an underwear model or an unusually skinny menshealth model would weigh at 6ft. So if...

:D I loled.

With all the info you've given you might as well have just shaken one of these:

Yeah, as others have said, you have to join a new gym or buy some weights for home. If money is a limitation, you could probably gain 20lb of muscle with nothing much more than a barbell, 350lb of...

This will not get the job done I'm afraid.

Then your goal is probably pretty realistic, if you get on a good program. You might fall a bit short in 8 months, but you could get most of the way there.

What are your numbers on the major lifts?

Im exhausted just reading it. Try it and see how you get on, just be aware that that's ALLOT of volume. Works for some, doesn't work for many.

He just told you and he's right.
