Help please...
I'm wondering if my routine is good for building muscle but strength also. I'm 6"0 170 pounds looking to put on muscle and gain strength. I've been using this routine for almost a month now.
Monday: Legs
4x8 Squats
3x12 Lunges
3x8 Leg Curls
3x15 Calf Raises
Tuesday: Chest and Triceps
4x8 Incline Barbell Bench Presses
4x8 Decline Barbell Bench Presses
3x8 Close Grip Bench Presses
3x8 Dumbbell Skullcrushers
3x8 Barbell French Presses
Wednesday: Back and Biceps
4x8 Deadlifts
4x8 Barbell Bent Over Rows
4xMax Pull-Ups
3x8 Barbell Curls
3x8 Dumbbell Hammer Curls
Thursday: Legs
4x8 Squats
3x10 Front Squats
3x8 Leg Curls
3x15 Calf Raises
Friday: Chest and Shoulders
4x8 Flat Bench Presses
3x10 Dumbbell Flys
4x8 Military Presses
3x10 Dumbbell Lateral Raise
3x8 Upright Rows
4x10 Dumbbell Shrugs
Or should I just start all over with a 5x5 routine to build a good base and gain strength like Rippetoe's or Madcows 5x5 and then move onto a split?
