    In high school I wrestled and our workouts were all cardio/conditioning full body workouts and I've been in the Marines for over 10 months now and I've pretty much stuck to the same workout. I'm in great shape and pretty lean, but I would like to start gaining some muscle mass.

    Looks good to me, I would drop the behind the neck movements. They are no good for you.

    I like dumbell presses instead of barbell bench press. Bi's could start with barbell 2 working sets, then hammer curls 2 working sets., then finish with reverse grip cable curls.

    Add hamstrings on day 3, maybe some stiff legged deads, or hamsting curls. Keep movement really slow 4 sec positive 2 sec static and 4 sec negative. I personallylike squats in the 14-18 rep range, figue out what suits you best.

    Goodluck and dont underestimate the importance of a proper diet.
