    On a bulk, Been using a 5 day split routine which has been working quite well for me but I must drop it now as I don't have asmuch free time as I used to, Going to change to a 3 day split. Was wondering what you guys thought of it and give me any advice if you think there needs to be any given, I have not added an isolation tricep exercise as I think they're getting hit enough on my other movements, if this is incorrect let me know also, thanks.

    Day 1 - Pull

    Deadlifts - 4x6
    Bentover Barbell Rows - 4x6
    Wide Grip Pullups - 3x6
    Barbell Curls - 2x6
    Dumbbell Curls - 2x6

    Day 2 - Push

    Dumbbell Bench Press - 4x6
    Incline Dumbbell Press - 3x6
    Chest Dips - 2x6
    Military Press - 2x6

    Thats a quite large amount of low rep work if all the sets are "hard" especially if they are to failure. Id do some high rep stuff to get your volume and workload up. Chosen lifts are spot on but try this:

    Day 1 - Pull

    Deadlifts - 4x6
    Bentover Barbell Rows - 3x6
    Wide Grip Pullups - 4x10(or do the pullups for 6 1st if u cant do 10)
    Barbell Curls - 2x6 (I'd swap for hammer curls)
    Dumbbell Curls - 2x10

    Day 2 - Push

    Dumbbell Bench Press - 3x6
    Chest Dips - 2x6
    Incline Dumbbell Press - 3x10
    Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 3x6
    Tri pushdown or close grip bench 2x10
    Day 3 - Legs

    Squats - 4x6
    Stiffleg Deadlift - 3x6
    Leg press or hack squat or leg extension 3x10
    Calf Raises - 2x6, 2x10
    Small Ab Workout.

    DB curls seem redundant if you're doing BB curls too, same could be said of including both military press & DB press. Maybe doing a few of the exercises with a different rep range
    ie doing your main lift as a 5x5 or 4x6 (as you've got it here) and then doing the remaining lifts as 3x8-10

    example
    Day 2 - Push

    BB Bench Press - 5x5
    Incline DB Press - 3x8
    Military Press - 3x8
    Chest Dips - 3x8

    Personally I'd include a pre-exhaust for the chest & shoulders but I'm sure that won't be popular. eg cable flys prior to bench press
