    My workout routine (Thoughts pls)

    Hey guys, im trying to put on some size and have been doing so pretty well latley, but i'm just here to do a bit of research and figure out ways of improving my form/program etc!

    So here is my usual program on a weekly basis.. and this is what i believe works best for me.

    Day 1 (Chest & Bis)

    Bench Press (3x8)
    Incline DB Bench(3x8)
    Decline DB Bench(3x8)
    >>>>Also this is swapped in here and there
    Peck Deck (3x8)
    Fly ropes (3x8)
    Pushups (supersetted with peckdeck usually)

    BB curls (3x8)
    Hammer Curls 3x8)
    Isolated bicep curls (3x8)
    Pull ups (3x6)

    Day 2 (Back & Tris)

    Seated Row (3x8)
    Deadlifts (3x5)
    One arm Row (3x8)

    Skullcrushers (3x8)
    Weighted dips (3x8)
    Tri isolation machine (3x8)

    Day 3 (Legs & Shoulders)

    Leg press (3x8)
    Leg extensions (3x8)
    Leg Curls (3x8)
    Squats (5x5) - I get lazy with squats so i dont always do them (i know i should but lazyness kicks in!)
    Calves

    Standing BB row (3x8)
    Shrugs (3x8)
    Front DB shoulder raises(3x8)
    DB Military press (3x8)


    And that's pretty much my routine! I also try to eat alot of good carbs etc and drink max's supersize with a scoop of creatine 2 times a day.

    I feel what's letting me down most of the time is my inability to diet properly..

    So any thoughts on my bulking program? any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    thanks guys

    DAY 1
    Legs:

    Make sure you change exercises each week to get the body guessing and eat proper food for growth. you had a bit too many exercises for some muscles but the routine i just tweeked up. its good for what your looking for

    your pretty much working your chest, triceps, and shoulders thrice a week, albeit it chest less than the tri's and shoulders
    your working your back and biceps thrice a week too
    then you do deadlifts and then legs the next day, imo deads are a leg exercise, i classify leg exercises as my lower back and down, deads will work your hammies glutes and low back more than your upper back, but the upper back is just a bonus
    not being a jackass but your routine is just like mine when i first started, just thrown together with no reason! lol but dont worry itll get better as you research more and get experience in the trenches

    Do chin ups on day 1 instead of pullups.. Pullups is great for back AND bi's, but being that you want to do just Bi's, I would switch
