More indecisive now than ever!

[swanny34]

Stats-25 yrs old, 6'1, 190lbs, 12% body fat.
Looking to bulk up to around 210. Currently taking in 3,000 cal/day with good carbs/fats and 200g/protein a day. This is currently increasing and by the time cycle starts will be much higher. Will be running a test e only cycle @ 500/mg a week with adex. PCT in check.

I am looking to begin a new workout routine. I am starting a cycle in a few weeks and will be concentrating on strictly building mass. I have been reading/researching hundreds of threads/articles and find myself even more indecisive than ever!

I am deciding between 4 different routines right now and could use some advice ( pros/cons on each). One thing I defiantly want to make sure I include every week are squats and dead lifts. I am going to post the routines I am deciding between and hopefully I can get some feedback. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond, much appreciated.

Hi mate your first workout I have been doing for about three months and I find it works well,I change my workout days around at the start of every month so my body and muscles get a fright ie take fridays workout and start it on monday and put mondays to friday and so on. Also I do two sets of abs every day

I like ur 1st choice add abbs on leg and shoulder day. and ur 4th one. I'm kinda like scorpion I change it up a bit. I like the 5x5, but I don't understand why sum people only do 2 sets of 8-10,... that is a lot of back work tho...I always do 3 to 4 sets and really pump and burnem out. For abbs I'd trow in sum hangn leg raises and sum obliqes, havnt seen pics but that should give u a good swimmers cut and u don't have to do them on the same day. I'm shure u already know be real carefull doing deads u will get strong pretty quick and u don't wanna mess up ur back in the middle of ur cycle or any time. I stained mine a couple years ago it hasn't been th same sense.. It all looks good over all. Good luck!

Wow, your right 6'5". That is a TON of back work in the 5X5 workout. If I decide on that routine I will cut 1 or 2 of those exercises out. My only concern with the 5X5 workout is doing shoulders the very next day after chest. Id like to have those two a little more spaced out. Also, would you say it is better to do traps on back days or shoulder days?
