im starting on my bulk and would like to hear what you guys think about my routine. im doing a 3 day full body workout. i will be working out on tue,wed,thu. i know this is not a good schedule(working out 3 days in a row) but these are the only days that my school gym is open.

a sample workout day would look like this:

squats - 3 sets
bench press - 3 sets
pendlay rows - 3 sets
military press - 3 sets
bb triceps extension - 2 sets
bb/db curl - 2 sets
bb/db shrugs - 2 sets

reps will change from time to time and exercises will also change(but mostly compound of course). i like to mix things up. i also like to do cardio for 30-45 mins on my off days and maybe some ab workout.
are 3 sets not enough, too much? what do you guys think?
thanks

This will work even twice a week with good eating. I would throw out the extensions though and do some weighted dips. Also a set or two a week of some deadlifts will do wonders. I wouldn't do any cardio for now until you get as big as you want to be. Believe me there will be plenty up that later for cut up time.

Doing a full body workout three days in a row is a bad idea. A split would be much better in your case. Or doing the full body, but only twice a week with at least a day in between.

i agree with Ross on that one, 3 days in a row of all those exercises will probably end up being counterproductive pretty quick.
i'd ditch the extensions, curls and shrugs and add in chins (perhaps alternated with dips) and deads but only do the deads once a week and only 1 or 2 working sets.
i'd also not work heavy/low reps on all those movements either. maybe do 3 sets of 5's for squats, bench and rows and 2-3 sets of 8, 10 or even 12 on the chins, dips and OH presses. keep the deads to sets of 5 though. just my $.02
