Grandaddy of them all?

Recently i did a workout that went like WBB

Mon: Chest and Back
Tues: Legs
Wed: Shoulders/ Traps
Thur: Arms


the "experts" say doing a 3 day workout with all compounds is the best for muscle gain
So the new one is something like

Monday:

Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Barbell Row 5x5

Wedesday
Squat 4x5
Incline or Military 4x5
Deadlift 4x5

Friday:
Squat 4x5 And 1x3 <- ramping up weight by 2.5 %
Bench 4x5 And 1x3 <- ramping up weight by 2.5 %
Barbell Row 4x5 And 1x3 <- ramping up weight by 2.5 %


Once you ramp up the weight next week you should be able to do a set of 5 with that weight. Would this mean great mass gains with a good diet and plenty of rest? Would This routine help my arms grow too? I'm looking to bulk up for 10 weeks then cut so i can look something like this guy


LOL

Thanks

I think this is Madcow's 5x5. Very similar to what I do. I think it's a great workout! Though, I believe, this is a good strength workout rather than hypertrophy (though the stronger you get you will get a bit bigger).

Though I do 1x5 rows on day 1 and 1x5 benches and squats on day 3. And I also do an accessory each day (tri's, bi's calves, etc.)
