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.
