Hi guys, hope I'm posting my journal in the right place. Just got done with taking cold measurements so here goes with the stats: Age: 25 Weight: 78kg Height: 5'9" Training experience: 2 years Chest: 41" Waist: 32" Thighs: 24" Calves: 15" Left arm: 15" Right arm: 15.5" I am looking to get some lean size packed on for the summer and am normally pretty lucky with cutting up when I need to (e.g. for holidays) by increasing MMA training and cardio. I have a couple of lagging body parts (mainly legs and shoulders) which has led me to deciding upon the following routine. Monday: Chest, Tri's and Shoulders. Flat db press Inline bar press Flat db flyes Dips Single arm pull downs (cable column) Tricep extension machine Shoulder press Lateral db raises Posterior deltoid flyes I know that is a bit of a monster workout so may be shifting shoulders to leg day but yet to decide. Tuesday: Legs Squats Leg press Hamstring curls Leg extensions Partial front squats on squat machine (pinched from Markus Ruhl dvd) Wednesday: Back and Biceps Wide grip chins (usually done as warm up) Lat Pull down Deadlifts Bent over rows T Bar rows One arm rows EZ bar curls concentration curls (try to vary this between workouts) Thursday is my rest day and then I will repeat routine on Fri, Sat and Sun. I know this seems like a lot but it is a last ditch effort to try and get some size for summer as if I have too many rest day my apetite disappears on those days and it p*sses me off! My calves are also horrible and I try to train them up to 3 or 4 times a week. I will update this with diet and photos ASAP.

Welcome mate Best of luck with the training though personally feel above is too much, I cut the routines down weeding out a lot of the isolations and train Mon, Weds, Fri.
