PureNatural,
I am really enjoying reading about this work out plan. I have been struggling getting into what I felt was best. I have tried mixing things up a bit... but for the most part, I have been doing my compounds first and my iso's last, and it has worked for me so far... if gaining 21 lbs in 3 months is good. But I think what you are presenting to us looks right up my ally.
Now, I don't have experience doing dead lifts or squats. Are these two exercises a MUST... or are there other exercises that can be supplemented? I know you said they were a must... just seeing if there was an alternative.
Also... have you spoken to anyone in a higher age than yourself about this plan? The reason I ask is that as we men get older, we produce less testosterone. Where you are 18 (I think I remember you saying in another thread) you produce A LOT more than I do at 28. Didn't know if this was something great for the younger ones than those sitting around 30.
I am excited about trying this out. I'll come back here and post my progess in a month or so. I have a terrible time building my chest and arms... so hopefully this will help.

Hey what’s up sir,
Hey don’t worry about struggling, sooner or later it will stop, that’s good your struggling, proves how much your willing to put yourself towards being successful in bodybuilding, remember in life you will have a lot walls your going hit, just a matter trying to get to the other side.
Well that is good, 21 lbs in 3 months, really impressed your doing good job so far.
Accordingly if you want to bulk and build muscle mass you have to depend on compound movements my friend, because they will hit almost every single muscle on the body, remove any isolations if your considering to bulk, because from experience doesn’t do any good when it comes to bulking.
Yes squats and deads are a must, why, because you don’t get hurt from training deads and squats, you hurt if you don’t do them. How you may asks? It’s simple, you will create strength imbalance and may cause injury. For an example if you exclude squat and dead’s, you possible can hurt your lower back from doing military presses, bench, rows or any compound exercises having lower back invovle because your lower back is weakened and is valuable to being a strong stabilizer for those exercises. As well not only to prevent injury but strong lower back can help increase your strength for other compound exercises. And squats and deads are great for building mass, naturally, when worked hard they can develop quicker and bigger muscle mass then any leg or back isolation exercise, with deads, you simply hit calves,quads,glutes,hams,forearms,bi-cep,your traps,your lats basically almost everything and as well as squats you hit almost every single body part in the body. I’ve develop my calves simply by jus doing squats because of how hard I worked on them. I’ll email you the squat and dead lift technique so don’t worry about it.
This can be great for anybody as long there body has fully grown and develop.
The one who came up with this routine which is Frankie NY he’s 43 and doing 600lb on deads from one of threads I read.
And give us feed back, regarding to arms, sometimes it’s not necessary to do direct arm work if your working hard enough since they are going to be used with a lot of tension. Chest, stick with at most 2 exercises, for me 1 work ok but its up to you, just don’t do any more then 2.
And just like what GLD1 has said just stick with routine about 8-12 weeks and let us know how you do. Practice first couple of weeks or so with technique so you get a feel of how it is before jumping into intensity.
Well Hope this help,
goodluck with training sir!
