    Im 18 years old, 6'2, 205 pounds, 20% BF, wanting to bulk and get strength. Right now im on a cutting diet, but am soon about to start bulking. I have a very slow metabolism, and dont want my Bf to get out of wack, like it did last time( I gained 25 pounds of fat). Im going on the "UNoffical How to Bulk thread and sample diet" for my diet. And ill soon be taking creatine while bulking also.
    This is the plan so far,

    4 sets dips
    4 sets Tri pulldowns (2overhand grip, 2 underhandgrip)
    4 dumbell kickbacks

    Tuesday Back,abs
    Back-
    4 sets lat pulldowns
    4 sets one arm rows
    4 sets seated rows
    4 sets deadlifts
    4 sets shrugs

    4 sets leg press
    4 sets leg curls
    4 sets leg extension
    forarms-

    4 sets reverse wrist curls
    4 sets plate pinch
    Afterwards i use a grip squeeze thing, doing as many reps as I can.

    Agreed - looks solid. A few minor tweaks I would suggest, in caps below.

    LOOKS GOOD. HOWEVER JUST AS YOU ARE WORKING CHEST/TRIS TOGETHER I WOULD SUGGEST BACK/BIS, AND MOVING ABS TO THURSDAY.

    Monday Triceps, chest, calves
    chest-
    5 sets benchpress (3 flat, 2 incline, changing from incline to decline every other week)
    4 sets of dumbell flys
    4 sets calbe crossovers
    I WOULD USE TWO MASS BUILDERS LIKE BENCHPRESS AND THEN DB PRESS OR INCLINE PRESS RATHER THAN JUST ONE. LOSE THE CROSSOVERS IMO.
    Tris-
    4 sets dips
    4 sets Tri pulldowns (2overhand grip, 2 underhandgrip)
    4 dumbell kickbacks

    12 SETS FOR TRIS IS QUITE A LOT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS DIRECTLY AFTER CHEST. MAKE IT 3 SETS OF EACH. ALSO KICKBACKS I FIND TO BE USELESS, MAKE IT SKULLCRUSHERS INSTEAD.

    Tuesday Back,abs
    Back-
    4 sets lat pulldowns
    4 sets one arm rows
    4 sets seated rows
    4 sets deadlifts
    4 sets shrugs
    LOOKS SOLID. I NEVER LIKE SEATED ROWS AND PREFER BB ROW BUT THAT COULD JUST BE PREFERENCE.

    Thursday Bicept, shoulder, abs
    bicepts-
    4 sets EZ-bar standing curls
    4 sets dumbell incline curls
    4 sets hammer curls
    3 sets preacher curl
    15 SETS? THATS A LOT. I WOULD MAKE IT 3 SETS EACH OF THE FIRST THREE. THE 4TH YOU CAN LOSE. OR IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT TRY 4 SETS OF THE FIRST 2 AND 2 EACH OF THE OTHER 2 EXERCISES. HOWEVER IF YOU MOVE BIS TO BACK DAY I WOULD MAKE IT 3 SETS OF 3 EXERCISES MAX (9 TOTAL).
    shoulder-
    4 sets Overhead Presses
    4 sets upright rows
    4 sets side raises
    4 sets front raises
    UPRIGHT ROWS HIT TRAPS, BUT ARE TERRIBLE FOR THE RC. DO SHRUGS INSTEAD.

    Saturday Legs, forarms, calves
    Legs-
    4 sets squats
    4 sets leg press
    4 sets leg curls
    4 sets leg extension
    I WOULD DO EXTENSTIONS BEFORE CURLS (STILL FOCUSING ON QUADS) AND TRY SLDL INSTEAD OF CURLS FOR HAMS.
    forarms-
    4 sets wrist curls
    4 sets reverse wrist curls
    4 sets plate pinch
    Afterwards i use a grip squeeze thing, doing as many reps as I can.
    IMO YOU NEED MAX 5-6 SETS FOR FOREARMS, NOT 12 PLUS THE GRIP SQUEEZE THINGY
    Abs-
    4 sets 20 crunches
    4 sets 20 knee raises
    Calves-
    4 sets 20 calf raises
    TRY SOME VARIATION - SEATED, STANDING, DONKEY RAISES ETC.

    in your chest session i would split it to 3x 6-8 flat, 3x 6-8 incline, then 3x 6-8 decline, then i would then just stick with the cable crossovers, for the ncline you can alternate on dumbell or barbell
