    Critique my Ectomorph Mass Building Routine.. ** Will Rep!

    Alright, so I've been lifting for a few years now, I'm very much accustom to each of these lifts and have executed them before (as well as many others, i.e. I can handle advanced lifts/techniques). Anyway, I'm a hard gainer and it's time to bulk, so I'm eating a like a horse. Here's the workout I came up with, similar to an older routine I followed. My goal is to gain muscle size/mass. PLEASE, if you have any suggestions, feel free. The only downside to this routine is that it looks as if I'm pushing the workload on each given day; then again, maybe I'm wrong. Thanks in advance bodybuilding gurus, here it goes.

    Incline barbell bench - 12,10,8,6
    Bent over barbell row - 4x8-12

    Lat pull down (wide grip) - 4x8-12
    Lateral Cable Raise (Standing SS w/ Bent Over) - 4x8-12
    Close grip pull downs - 4x8-12
    Straight arm dumbbell pullovers - 4x8-12
    Barbell shrugs - 4x8-12

    Tuesday:

    Squats - 12,10,8,6
    Stiff leg dead lift (or glute ham raise) - 12,10,8,6
    Standing calf raises - 4x8-12
    Dumbbell lunges - 4x8-12 (each leg)
    Close grip barbell curls - 4x8-12
    Skull crushers - 4x8-12
    Reverse barbell curls 4x8-12

    Tuesday arms but not on friday? I would stick to a traditional upper/lower or push/pull split so each muscle gets the same amount of frequency.

    "225, 315, 405 whatever. Yeah these benchmark digits come to mean a lot to us, the few warriors in this arena. They are, however, just numbers. I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel

    Hi! Thanks for the input, I'll take it into consideration.
    And am I supposed to rep it in that order (going up in reps) or is it supposed to be the other way, going down in reps?

    Also, why exactly do u think I should change the rep ranges do the ones you listed? Thanks man, not trying to come across in a negative way, just wondering.. Thanks for the input bro!
