I got this workout from another forum; I've been on it for about 12 weeks. Very good for strength and mass gains.
All exercises unless otherwise noted 5 sets for 5 reps ( or 4x6 )
Do atleast 2 warmup sets per exercise. Train 3 days a week - M, W, F
Cardio on off days ( 2 days a week ) for about 30-45 mins

Day 1 - Pull
Deadlifts
Barbell Rows, Dumbell Rows or Wide Grip Chins
Barbell Curls, Hammer Curls or Close Grip Underhand Chins

Day 2 - Push
Flat Dumbbell or Barbell Bench Press
Inclined Dumbell or Barbell Bench Press
* If you do barbell flat then do dumbbell inclined or visa versa
Barbell Standing Military Press
Tricep Dips or Close Grip Bench

Day 3 - Legs
Front or Back Squats
Stiff Leg Deadlifts
Calf Raises ( 3x12 )
Weighted Crunches ( 3x12 )

Use HEAVY weights. When you can complete all your reps then move up 5 lbs. Your goal should be to move up in weight every workout.
Give this a try for about 12 weeks. I think you'll be happy with it.

:lift:

for beginners start out with a lot of compound movements such as bench press, squat, deadlift. When you are benching you put a lot of strain on the shoulders and triceps as well. Same thing goes for legs. Some people like to go ahead and "finish off" those body parts on the same day and i think that is good for beginners. The most important thing is changing up your routine after your gains taper off. try something like what these guys have given you....pretty good stuff...good luck man

what about that steriod workout plan on the main page on steriod.com will that be a good plan for me too
