Here is my 3x a week workout, and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for me?  Also, I was thinking about turning it into a 4x a week workout.  Should I try to bump it up to for, and if so, how should I go about doing that (should I just repeat some more weights)?

Thanks for your help.

It looks good.. standard format of a cycle with the isolations thrown in once you hit the 5's at Jules' recommends in the Pimp My HST Ebook.

Oh, that reminds me.  I would really like to incorporate some of the stuff Jules was talking about into this routine, and I was wondering if somebody could help me simplify it for my routine.  I would REALLY appreciate it.  I know he talkes about pulses, pulse stretches, etc., but that stuff is way over my head, and if someone could just tell me what to do, I would really like to do it.

Thanks.
 
Hm, for some reason it is not letting me edit my posts.

But I have an additional question. How much more beneficial do you think it is to do a 6x a week workout than 3x a week? Is it worth the extra time it would take, and I wouldn't really need to any cardio with a 6x a week would I?

I have done a 6x a week in the past, and I didn't notice much of a difference, but I might have been doing it wrong since it was a few cycles back. If you suggest that I do one, should I just keep my present format of 3x a week and just double the workouts (repeat the weights for each day to be able to do them for the extra days added)?
 
6x/week is better... especially for cutting. If you are bulking, then just make sure you are eating the correct amount. 3x/week AM/PM seems to the be best fit since it gives you rest days and nutrition partioning, but all in the all the difference b/w 6x and 3x-AM/PM isn't that big.

Well, I was considering just 3x a week (by 3x/week AM/PM, do you mean 6 workouts a week with 2 a day workouts 3 times a week) vs. 6x a week every day for a bulking diet.

So if I do 6 workouts a week, 2 workouts per day (ex: MWF), would that be significantly better than 3x a week MWF?
 
I've decided to go with a MWF AM/PM split. To cut down on time in the gym, are any of these exercises expendable, or should I just keep them all? (I am just now starting my SD, so I would not be able to check my maxes for any different exercises that could possibly combine 2 into 1).
 
One thing I noticed is both the deads and leg press in the same day, if they were squats maybe it'd be worst.

How's the lower back feeling? If you start struggling thsi could be the reason (the 2 big guys together) so...alternate them...either every other day or AM/PM.

You did not show how you are splitting so we have no idea!

Otherwqise it looks good, and oooops, AM/PM splits if you feed your &quot;face&quot; well you should grow like a weed!

Well, I was thinking about doing full body for both AM and PM. Is that not reccomended? Should I split my workout in half and do half in the AM and half in the PM?
