This summer is basically my last 'free' summer, and i was wondering what the best 'bulk' workout regiment would be? i have been doing sorta of a circuit training where i do sets of 4x15 of the main lifts (squats, bench, shoulder, curls, tris, STDL, high rows, low rows, lat pull downs) and i get that done about a hour (not all on the same day of course) but since i wont be having to have class and studying, what do yall think the best 'bulk/strength' weight regiment would be?

May or may not do a cycle of test p 7 weeks ED.. but thats completely undecided and not really a factor here, and depends on how my workouts go before i start. Im not gonna jump into one when my body cant handle the extra stress...

Im 6'5 and about 230 (~13%bf) now which has been by standard weight and im lookin to get up to 250. Mainly my weight is in my legs and hips and back , not much to say for upper body (shoulders, traps, bi's, tri's). Im really lookin to put on some solid size up there.

I will keep cardio included, i do the eliptical for 15 min before warming up, and going to add in a ~mile jog in there outside of lifting. I also play pretty comeptitive basketball so thats good conditioning also. What are yalls thoughts?

Last time i had that 'bulk' regiment, it was all about the 5x5 sets and go to total failure but it seemed those workouts took much longer than i had time available. But this summer, my time requirements will decrease alot from what they are now. And i wanna go back to school in August lookin good! (lol yall know the feeling) and then try to keep that up.

Im working on my diet right now, working on eating healthlier, which has been a struggle but ive noticied that when i cut out the burger and fries and have a cold cut sandwich at home with mayo and bread n butter pickles, it fills me up and i feel much better throughout the day. So thats one step to cut out the fast fried food.. subway is still gonna be there but thats much healhtier than the double bacon chz burger w/ egg on top and large fries (fried in peanut oil.. Mmmmmmm) then potato skins, mozz sticks and chicken strips...

For breakfast, im actually trying to eat it instead of skipping it on my way to class, but it includes a 'equate slim fast shake, basically choc milk with vitamins, and a cutie orange or banana. I feel that this has helped alot. I know i have along way to go, but im getting there.

and advice would be helpful.

Does anyone know if any 'premade' excell programs that help track those types of things? im not the greatest with Excell and getting it to all look good printed out on paper but i know it will help alot if i have it printed out and up on the wall so i have to look at it every day!

thanks for the insight bros!
