Nice post air, also look at powerlifting section

Thanks guys.

Any specific exercises

like nble said l2t has a great program that im following right now and i love it, give it a shot u wont be disappointed :tren:

I just looked at it. I mean it might work but just looking at it I feel I would be exhausted. Half way threw. Doesn't it seem a bit overtraining?

Some good stuff here, you got your bulking diet in check?

Its an equation bro...

Heavy Compound Lift + Excess Calories = Mass

You need to be doing tons of heavy bench, deads, squats, rows, squats, overhead press and squats and eat all day long.

Not yet brother but soon.

Like the way u put it pob LOL but true

Also, I don't know if you've seen the pics of l2t that he posted, but that dude is a fuckin beast. I would have to say that he has some good genetics for muscle building. Based on my experience trying different routines, I would have to say that his program would be overtraining for me. However, for some people it will work very well. I do better on a 3 day a week split like the one airagee posted. Ultimately people have very different recovery genetics, some people grow better doing 5 days a week high volume, some people grow better doing 3 days a week low volume. You have to experiment until you find out what works for you.

One other tip, when you try a new program, make sure you give it at least 2-3 months minimum to see if it works. Don't assume because you haven't gained weight 2 weeks in that it doesn't work. Give it enough time to see if it can work for you in the long term, that's how you'll find the right program and the right amount of volume that will work best for you.
