Help Someone Who ISN'T Ignorant

[Yungah]

Haha what a title aye, anyway yeah i'm open to any suggestions here, I just want a new workout routine, am currently bulking, at 171 pounds, going for 180.
I'm pretty sure i'm still considered a novice at this, but here's last weeks compound lifts:

Bench: 165 pounds 3x8
Squat: 242 pounds 3x8
Deadlift: 264 pounds 3x8

Keep in mind there are various other lifts in my routine. So yeah, workout routine guys?

Here are some current pics

[Tr0jan]

This is mine
Day 1: Back - Deadlift, Pullups, Rows, Lat Pulldown, Lat Pullover, Shrugs
Day 2: Chest + Triceps - DB Bench, DB Incline Bench, Flys, Dips, Pulldowns, Skullcrushers
Day 3: Shoulders + Biceps - Clean+Press, Arnold Press, Lateral Delt Raises, Curls (few different sorts)
Day 4: Legs - Squats, Good-Mornings, Hip Pull-Throughs, Standing Calf Raises, Seated Calf Raises
Day 5: Core - Various abs + obliques excercises

Compound excercises = 4 sets x 6-12 Reps
Isolation excercises = 3-4 sets x 12-16 Reps

PM me if you want a more detailed explanation

Are they the only compound lifts you do?!

[BCRich]

you dont look like a novice as far as development. im about as strong as you maybe stronger on those lifts but not near as big.

nice work

[Mourning Tide]

ummm why not continue what youve been doing
if it aint broke dont fix it

[Stork]

Are you working for strength or size?

x2 .... dude your looking pretty big as is, why mix it up if its clearly working for ya

[Yungah]

Cheers guys, well what i've been doing is layed out kinda stupidly I think:

Monday: Chest and tri's
Tuesday: Shoulders and Abs
Off Day
Thursday: Back and Bi's
Friday: Legs and Abs

Now I just realised it's stupid to do legs after back day, my ****in' back is killin' today (and not in a good way) from back work thursday and squattin' on friday, so i'm just thinking it's time to change things up. Anymore suggestions?

I had the same problem when I did back b4 legs, it was killin me for squats, then I switched it, and legs were killin me for dl's. So I just played around with it

I kinda ended up with these for awhile

Legs
Chest
off
back
shoulders
arms
off

or

Legs+Bi's
off
Shoulders+Tri's
off
Chest+Back
off
off

Just play around with it, the possibilities are infiniteeeeee

I've been working with a routine that goes as follows:

Week 1:
Monday//
chest/tris/shoulders/abs

Wednesday//
Back/bis/legs

Friday//
Ches/tris/shoulders/abs

Week 2:
Monday//
Back/Bis/Legs

Wed//
Chest/tris/shoulders/abs

Friday//
Back/Bis/Legs

repeat

It's working well for me. With focus on compound lifts such as deadlift, bench press, squat, overhead press, rows, etc.

[Yungah]

Hmmm still lookin', anyone else?

[thebearman]

wtf you look so much bigger than your strength man
you should be pushin much more weights than that!

[yoj]

Damn your hyooge I want to be around that weight its my goal. Definetly not novice :P. What weight did you start at?

Why not try:

Mon - Chest/Tri
Tues - Cardio/abs (and calves/forearms if you wish)
Wed - Legs/Shoulders
Thurs - Cardio/abs (and calves forearms if you wish)
Friday - Back/Bis

The best part is that tuesday and thursday are pretty much optional and are your "flex days" that can be put anywhere in the week without trouble.
