Whats up guys, i'm an intermediate lifer. I'm 22 years old been lifting since I was 16 years old. But, I just started getting serious and lifting correctly since June. By lifting correctly i mean doign squats, deadlifts, OH press, etc.. I'm 145 lbs around, benching, squatting and deadlifting about 200 lbs. I work out in my own gym at home so im not loaded with machiens with cables, etc. My goal is size, I want to look huge and good. I want to be brolic and ripped! I was doing a 5 day split that I took some of the routine from this site, and changed it a bit to fit in with my equipment. I was told this routine might be a bit too advanced, so I was pointed to another one, and i've been doign and dont know if its that good or not. Can you guys check out these rouines and tell me what you think? I'm gonna post a few... If none of them are satisfactory can you point me in the direction of a good 4 or 5 day split that I could do for mass and my goals?? Id really appreciate the help...

The Most Recevnt Workjout I been doing:
Day 1

4x Squats: 5 reps
3x Ham Work: 8 reps
3x BB or DB Row: 8 reps

Honestly I would just do a starting strength like template to help build a good foundation first. Something like...

Workout A
squat-3x5 same weight
bench-3x5 same weight
deadlift-work up to 1x5

Workout B
squat-3x5 same weight
overhead press-3x5 same weight
bb row-3x5 same weight

Rotate workouts and train 3 times a week of non consecutive days.

U should better try a push pull routine as it is also mentioned above by one person, It might suit U more good. Just try it out, If U don't know what it is or how it's done, PM me N i'll reply u ASAP.
