My first routine

[T3/T4 GSR]

For a while now I have been using other peoples routines and I have had great success but my current routine is getting stale so I decided to try and combine a mix of different routines I have done by putting in exercises I liked best. The main basis of this routine is to gain mass.

Mon - Chest/Back

Flat barbell bench - 2 x 10 - 8
Incline DB press - 2 x 10 - 8
Machine Flys - 2 x 10
Dips - 2 x 10

Wide grip pulls ups - 2 x 8 or as many as I can get up
Deadlifts - 3 x 8 - 6 - 3 (slowly increasing the weight)
Seated close grip cable row - 2 x 10
Bent over BB rows - 2 x 8
BB shrugs - 2 x 10
Smith machine behind the back shrugs - 2 x 10

OFF

Wed - Legs
I have 2 possible routines here...one is taken straight from wanna be big 2 routine and other is my own modified version of it

Squats - 2 x 10 - 8
Seated leg press - 2 x 10

well in my opinion i would up the sets, sets or a little low, maybe add one set to every excercise, and i would really try to use the straight bar on curls, ez bar just doesnt have the same affect as staight.

[T3/T4 GSR]

You really think 6-8 hard hitting sets per muscle group is really to little?

[MrBigEd]

i personally dont think so, never had good success with low sets like that.. i would shoot for somethan around 9 to 12. Some ppl even go 15sets. my arms and chest like 12 and legs are good for 9. most ppl will agree i believe.. but again "different strokes for different fokes" ya know?

[T3/T4 GSR]

Yea I could up it a bit...anyone else have any input on how many sets I should do?

[The Dope Show]

For me it depends. I will no doubt do 10 sets, but then when I near completion, I think to myself if I wanna just go ahead and do it, ya know? What is a couple more? So I do 10-12

[DutchCowboy]

IMO, if you are trying to gain mass your reps are too high. Also, are you doing any warmup sets. The reason I ask is that it usually takes me a set or two to get into the groove for an exercise.
I would just limit the exercises and up the sets.
