Advice on my routine

[ClawKnight]

Hi there, Im 18 years old, 5' 8" about 130lbs currently trying to bulk up and build muscle mass. Heres my routine, 4 days a week:

Mon
3x10 Pushups
3x8 Inc Bench press
3x8 DB bicep curls
3x8 Barbell Row
3x8 Seated DB shoulder Press

Tues
3x12 Situps
3x6 Squats
3x6 Good morning
3x6 Deadlift
3x10 Calf Raise

Wed
Rest

Thurs
3x10 Pushups
3x8 Inc DB Bench press
3x8 Barbell bicep curls
4x5 pullups
3x8 Standing military press

Fri
3x12 Situps
3x6 Squats
3x6 Good morning
3x6 Deadlift
3x10 Calf Raise


Upper and lower days are pretty much the same (mon/thurs + tues/fri) with some alterations to keep it fresh.

Is this too much? Not enough? Any changes that you would make? Only been into this for a few weeks and have built this up from what ive read on these 'ere forums so let me know what you think

Thanks!

Hmm, not the best exercise selection mate. DO you train at a gym or at home?

[ClawKnight]

At home, cant really afford membership to a gym at the moment. All I have to work with is barbell/dumbells

[ClawKnight]

I read the high frequency training sticky and thought Conjugate splits sounded interesting so heres my attempt at intergrating that into my routine...

Mon
Upper Body - Hypertrophy

3x8 Incline Barbell Bench Press
3x8 Standing Military Press
3x8 Barbell Row
3x6 Barbell curl
3x8 Weighted dips

Tues
Lower Body - Power

5x4 Squat
5x5 Goodmorning
5x5 Deadlift
4x8 Standing calf raise

Wed
Rest

Thurs
Upper Body - Power

6x5 Decline DB press
5x4 Lateral Raises
6x4 Seated shoulder press
5x5 DB bicep curl

Fri
Lower Body - Hypertrophy

3x10 Weighted Crunches
3x8 Squat
3x8 SLDL
3x10 Standing Calf raise

Is this looking any better? Any help would be appreciated as I am pretty much outta my depth constructing a training schedule. Prior to this my only training would be if I was bored Id pick up my dumbells and see how many reps I could do, no routine at all :P

[James Copping]

Your hypertrophy reps are a bit too low, try 8-12, when you can do 12 with a weight, increase it and go for 8 again.

Exercise selection is good but I would suggest the following:

Mon
Upper Body - Hypertrophy

4x8 Incline Barbell Bench Press
3x8 Standing Military Press
3x8 Barbell Row
3x8 Barbell curl
3x8 Weighted dips

Tues
Lower Body - Power

5x5 Squat
5x5 Deadlift
3x5 SLDL
4x5 Standing calf raise

Wed
Rest

Thurs
Upper Body - Power
Pullup 5x5
5x5 Decline DB press
3x5 Seated shoulder press
3x5 DB bicep curl

Fri
Lower Body - Hypertrophy

3x8 Squat
3x8 SLDL
3x8 front squat
3x10 Standing Calf raise
