hello!

I have been training muscle groups different days. E.g Monday shoulderd, Tuesday biceps etc.. but I feel like I'm not benifiting from this anymore much .

I have decided to start a push pull leg day routine.

My goal In the long term is to just get 'massive' . I need to build everything but wanna work extra on arms.

Here's what I have. Done some research so have included the exercises I think would work well
This is high intensity as I want big growth !

Push

Bench Press 3 x 8x12
-Dumbbell shoulder press 3x8-12

Incline Dumbbell press 3x 8-12

Dumbbell Flye or Pec Dec 3x 8-12

barbell shoulder Press 2x 8-12

machine Side Laterals 3x 8-12

Skullcrushers 3x 8-12

Cable Tricep pushdowns 3x 8-12




Legs

Squats 3x8

Leg Press 3x8

Seated Calf Raises 3x12

Standing calf raises 3x12



Pull

Bent over Rows 3x8-12

Close grip lat rows 3x 8-12

Lat Pull Down 3x 8-12

Dumbbell Curls 3x 8-12

Barbell curls 3x 8-12

Barbell Shrugs 3x 20

Rear delt cables 3x10

Deadlifts 3x6-8


Open to all suggestions to get bigger, cut exercises or swap some. Open to it all, just need extra work on arms . As they are lagging I think.


Cheers in advance

How long have you been training? What would you consider your experience level to be?

Here are my advices:

1. Work the muscle not the weight.

2. Train to failure not just to finish the set.

3. Get enough protein.

Intensity as far as strength training is considered is usually determined from your 1 rep max value. 12 reps is not considered a high intensity routine, but the 8-12 reps will help you gain mass. I recommend a periodized program, you should plan out phases lasting 4-6 weeks and you can make a 6 month program through mass/strength/power phases, downloads/unloads etc. so your body doesn't get used to the same routine.

The other thing I noticed is that you only have 4-5 exercises of your legs, you might want to add to that. It seems like a good beginners workout, try it for a few weeks, monitor your nutrition. I've always thought arnolds body building book was a good one for beginners too if you want to read more into it, plus it has different level workout routines.

Good luck
