my full body routine

[MassAppeal]

im starting on my bulk and would like to hear what you guys think about my routine. im doing a 3 day full body workout. i will be working out on tue,wed,thu. i know this is not a good schedule(working out 3 days in a row) but these are the only days that my school gym is open.

a sample workout day would look like this:

squats - 3 sets
bench press - 3 sets
pendlay rows - 3 sets
military press - 3 sets
bb triceps extension - 2 sets
bb/db curl - 2 sets
bb/db shrugs - 2 sets

reps will change from time to time and exercises will also change(but mostly compound of course). i like to mix things up. i also like to do cardio for 30-45 mins on my off days and maybe some ab workout.
are 3 sets not enough, too much? what do you guys think?
thanks

I would probably hit your school gym Tue/Thurs (one heavy day, one higher rep day) and then throw in some bodyweight/conditioning work at home on Saturday or Sunday.

Just an idea. Your basic plan (which as I understand it will look entirely like, but not exactly, something that is not this at all ) is solid enough.

Actually it's a very good routine. It's unfortunate that you must workout 3 days in a row, but I do understand because many weeks I have to workout on Fri. Sat. and Sun. You might consider moving to an upper/lower body routine and simply continue the progression from week to week ( U, L, U, L, U ETC...). at least this way you get one day rest in between. I will mention another avenue for you to look into. Abbreviated Training Methods. Stuart McRoberts has a web-site and magazine called Hardgainers. He also wrote Brawn and Beyond Brawn. Find one of these books and read it! It's high intensity low volume work structured for the natural lifter. Great stuff. I used the system for almost 3 years, on and off and I will use it again. Good luck with your goals.

I can't believe nobody had tried to stop this kid... kid, you cannot workout three days in a row unless youre doing a total split and even then you might get cashed... are you effing insane. that workout, three days in a row. wtf! split it up or forget it... you'll see nothing if you try to do that 3 days in a row...

I agree with merkong....you need to rest in between or split it up...Try to find access to another gym to give you that rest period...very important..This is my three day full body work out...For you pro's let me know what you think! always room for improvement!
