Hello everybody.
I weigh 178lbs @ 5'11" and I want to gain some muscle mass. Yeah, I know I have to eat a lot but I would like to know if this routine is good for bulking. Should I edit the number of sets or reps? Should I change any exercises?

Thanks in advance!

Out of all the "routines" I see on here this is probably one of the better ones that might actually help achieve your goal. ha

Not bad for a beginner routine.

By the way, I got another question. For how long should I consider myself as a beginner?

Until you can lift non-beginner weights.

What are your maxes in the big lifts right now?

Not so sure but here goes my approx maxes:

Bench press - 198 lbs
Squat - 187 lbs
Deadlift - 242 lbs

Is it that bad? :S
