    Mass Making

    Alright, so I figured I'd try to develop my own routine, rather than use someone else's, based upon what I felt worked best for my body. This is what I've come up with.

    Monday

    Chest/Bi's

    Flat BB Bench Presses - 5X5 (Every 3rd week put Incline BB Bench Presses first)
    Incline DB Bench Press - 2 X 10 - 12 Failure (Every 3rd week put Flat DB Bench Presses here)
    Standing Cable Flyes - 2 X 10 - 15 Failure
    Standing BB Curl - 5X5

    Tuesday

    Back

    (No deads here, I've recently stopped doing deads at 375 X 3, my back is plenty thick, I need to focus on my lats and develop my V-Taper a bit more)

    Pull-ups - 4 X 8 - 10 (4-6 second negative)
    Bent-Over rows - 5 X 5
    T-Bar Rows - 4 X 6
    Close Grip Bench Presses - 5X5

    Wednesday

    Off

    Thursday

    Shoulders/Calves

    Military Press - 5X5
    Front Raises using a skull-crusher bar - 4 X 6 - 10
    Side Laterals - 3 X 12 - 15
    Standing Calf Raises - 2 X 15 - 20
    Seated Calf Raises - 2 X 15 - 20

    Friday

    Legs

    Squats 5X5
    Hack Squat - 3 X 10 - 12
    Leg Extension - 2 X 15 - 25
    Stiff Leg Deadlift - 5X5

    Alright that's it, using 5X% and the muscle hypertrophy primer Sticky (sort-of), and whatever else.

    Height is 6'0"
    Weight is 225
    B/F 20 %

    Diet is spot on.

    This is the end all be all. I want this workout to work for me. I know I just got done recently bugging you guys about a workout. But I realize it was subpar, at best.

    Thanks in advance.

    On Monday, you should add one more bicep exercise like incline dumbell curls. On Tuesday add one more tricep excersise like skull crushers. On Thursday, I suggest switching front raises with bent over laterals. The reason for this is because you work your front delt during chest, and some bicep movements, so they get plenty of attention during the week. It looks like your rear delts are being neglected. Friday I think you should add in Leg curls. Hamstrings are important, and since your not doing Romanian Deadlifts anyomore, they don't get as much attention as they should. Also, I would add in shrugs somewhere for those traps to build up. Again, deadlifts could have helped a bit, but you aren't doing them anymore.
    Good luck.
