Tips for full body workout


Im currently doing a full body routine and like it a lot. Im in and out of the gym within half hour to 45 mins and I feel I get an even better workout as opposed to 3 day or 4 day splits. Currently Im bulking (my diet is all in check eating 4000+ cals of clean food), if anyone could give me suggestions or critique my routine it would be greatly appreciated.

Sunday:
Incline db press - 3x6
Tricep pushdowns - 3x6
Straight barbell curl - 3x6
Bent over row machine - 3x6
Shoulder raises - 3x6

Monday:
20 min cardio (jogging)
Squats - 3x6
Deadlifts - 3x6
Wrist curls - 3x12
Reverse wrist curls - 3x12

Tuesday:
Decline bench press - 3x6
Skullcrushers - 3x6
Incline db curl - 3x6
Military press - 3x6
Lat pulldown - 3x6

Wednesday: (same as monday)

Thursday:
Flat db press - 3x6
Close-grip bench press - 3x6
Bent over row machine - 3x6
Seated db press - 3x6
Straight barbell curl - 3x6

Friday and Saturday: (rest)

Hey Psyckle - I'm doing full body now, too, but I'm sticking to three days a week and a total of 10-12 working sets.

What's your rep range like? If you're lifting heavy in the 3-6 range, doing deads and squats on the same day could really tax you in the long run.

Have you considered two days on, one day off to give your system more of a rest?

Also, I'd recommend doing cardio after lifting rather than before. In fact, if you're bulking, you could probably cut it out entirely.

Ive been bulking for a while and yeah I know what your sayin about the cardio (Im not a huge fan of it). I just started to throw it in to reamain conditioned, I was told that if you do cardio for 20 mins 2-3 times a week, that it will not hinder putting on mass. I also have a bit of fat around my chest area that I would like to get rid of so Im hoping it will help. Currently Im 6'1, 212lbs with around 11% bf.
