    Talking Hardgainer finally packing on pounds 4day workout

    So, I've been skinny my whole life and been in the gym almost my whole life. I've finally started making the progress in body weight but want to get some feedback on my workouts:

    Day1
    Chest
    flat bench bb
    db flys
    incline db press
    decline bench (machine or bb)
    pec deck

    Day2
    Back + Shoulders
    cable pull downs wide
    cable pull downs close
    cable rows
    lateral raises db
    db shoulder press
    db front and side raises
    shrugs
    burnout on row machine with over hand, underhand, side grips

    Day3
    Rest

    Day4
    Legs
    squat
    leg press
    lunges with bb on shoudlers
    seated leg extensions (machine)
    leg curls
    calf raises few different angles

    Day5
    Bi's and Tri's
    bb curls
    reverse grip bench
    db preacher curls
    decline bb skull crusher
    incline db curls
    db tri extensions
    laying down cable curls with straight bar grip
    rope push downs

    Everything I'm doing 3-4 sets 10-12 reps for the lighter sets as I ramp up and work my down to 6-8 reps for my 3rd and 4th set at heavier weights.

    Like I said I've been skinny and lean my whole life due to not enough food intake. Now I've got my diet in shape and consume tons and tons of food so im growing just want some vet advice as to wether or not this is balanced or if im missing something crucial!

    me-
    27
    6'4
    191lbs

    goal-
    210 lbs lean

    forgot to mention i usually take at least 2 full days rest at the end of this 5 days sometimes 3 days rest, so it's not on Mon-Fri but days of workout and rest...

    you can completely avoid the 2 or 3 days needed rest if you change the order of your split

    chest/bis
    legs
    rest
    back
    shoulders/tris
    rest

    seems to work the best for me and others, with proper diet you can recover a lot faster than you think

    does that mean you go back to chest/bis on day 7? never more than the one day of rest?

    yeah, if you take more than one day on this routine you are just gonna get lazy and eventually stop seeing results, you gotta push yourself thats what this sport is all about
