I found this mass building routine on bodybuilding.com, and since my Rippetoe's progress has stopped I wanted to try out something new and different, so how is this workout for a change?

# Squats 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Leg Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Leg Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Dumbbell Pullovers 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Barbell Overhead Shoulder Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Seated Rows 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Bench Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Barbell Bicep Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Tricep Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Weighted Pullups 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Weighted Dips 1 X 8 - 10 reps
# Standing Calf Raises 1 X 8 - 12 reps
# Abs - 1 X 10 - 15 reps

It says that I should use it 3 times per week and use the most weight as possible everytime. I think it's an interesting workout to try out.

I dont like it personally. I would drop all the iso exercises like; Leg ex, Leg curls, DB Pullover (Not isolation), and well forget it do something like this.

Squats-2x8
Bench2x8
Incline or OH Press-2x8
Stiff Legged Deadlifts-2x8
Dips-1x8
Chins-1x8

Wk1-2x8 w/75 second RI
Wk2-2x6 w/90 second RI
Wk3-3x6 w/90 second RI
Wk4-3x5 w/120 second RI

This is a decent start. If you would like to go every other and use deadlift instead of squats you can. Like switch it on and off, one week do squats and the next do deads in place of squats and so on and so forth. The same with Bench, one week run DB bench and the next run BB Bench. I would use different variations every week. Or if you would like to keep the exact exercises its fine to, just switch the reps and sets along with rest time I have indicated and you should progress.

No it is terrible. What are your goals??

The full body workout 3x a week is probably the worst way to train for a bodybuilder or any other power athlete.

Dude, why are you answering to 2 month old threads?

Malley

U mean 2 week old threads?

If you want a site to live you have to post. So get to posting .

No, it's just that I had a new workout thread posted about a week after this one and I already have a new workout, but thanks for the time to help btw.
