    Good mass routine?

    Wanted to use something that's been tried and tested rather than create my own routine. Came across this which is ideal for my lifestyle. I have concerns about the 1 sets though..

    Is this good for strength and mass, any alterations you would make?

    I dont like that workout at all. 1 set is just stupid.

    Split workouts of push and pull are typically the best for bodybuilding.

    3 to 4 (sometimes 5) sets for 6-12 (sometimes 10) reps is what most bodybuilders consider ideal to gain mass.

    Remember nutrition is the key for clean mass gain.

    I've been lifting a while, been doing a 3 day split but have reached a plateau and want something different. I like this idea of hitting all areas 3 times a week as heavy as possible. But I don't want to waist my time.. So if its sh-ite I'd like to know now.

    My goal is to gain mass everywhere and gain strength

    This routine has been used and worked for mass. I'm asking if any tweaks would help etc.

    Add more sets. Maybe 2 and see if the intensity is enough.

    That routine would be best for a begginer. But thats my opinion. Apparently i dont know anything about bodybuilding.

    I appreciate your input. Any advice would help as I really like the idea of this routine. I thought of adding a set or two with a decreased weight but I think that would be too much, three times a week at max weight.

    Go ahead and run the routine you asked about. You don't really have anything to lose unless you get injured (a distinct possibility with HIT-type training, or any other to-failure-or-beyond training method).
    No brain, no gain.
