Also I do bicycling in the morningn before breakfast on all workout days, Thursdays and none on leg day

That's basically it. I have so far gained about 6 lbs but I realize this is the beginning mass gain and I will slow down a lot. Tell me how the routine sounds and any criticism is welcome. I can't have the perfect body if I am too insecure to hear that what I am doing can be done better. Thanks.

you covered all the basics = eat big and lift big you will do well man, gain a pound or two a week is the norm. I have went as far as two pounds a week and did fine on a bulk. Right now I am strength training and going for .5 lbs a day weight gain for 9 weeks.....

whats a flat bar curl = you got flat barbells? :)

flat bar curl is when you use the olympic bar to do your curls... maybe that's not what they are called, but that is how I remember them becuase E-Z curl bar and the bar used for preacher curls are all bent and strange looking and the olympic is straight or "flat" as I called it. Thanks for your input by the way. Hopefully I will see significant gains within the next few months.
