A brief rundown of exercises I'm doing with specific bodyparts at the moment (I won't include sets and reps for everything, but i generally stick to either 3 or 4 sets per exercises with 6-12 reps)
Back:
DB Rows, Wide grip chins, T Bar row, Lat pull down,
Shoulders:
DB Shoulder Press, Laying lat raise, Reverse Flies, Upright Row,
Legs:
Squat, Stiff Legged DLs, Leg extension, leg curl.
Chest:
Dips, Inc. Flies, Flat DB Press, Incline DB Press, Crossovers
Bis & Tris:
Preachers, DB Curls, Hammers, DB Skull Crusher, Tricep Pushdown, CG Bench Press.
Should I add in more compound exercises (eg: Military Press, Hang Clean & Press, etc) if I want to put on muscle mass? Or is what I'm doing fine?
Which exercises out of the ones that I am doing are actually compound?

what's your bf?
with your weight, doing non-compound exercises should be ok.
I'd still reccomend more pull-ups and dips, which you can add to the bis % tris section, as well as some over head press for shoulders and tris.

bodyfat is around 12% at the moment. No e-stating but I've dropped a few pounds lately, but I'm still around the 200 mark.Originally Posted by svilack

I woulkd say that Stiff legged dead lifts are more for the back anyway. I would recommend Romanian deadlifts for your legs:Originally Posted by rude_rick1
