Right now I am bodybuilding, I have increased my strength a great deal but I was wondering If I should focus more on compound movements and cut out some of the isolation. I know that I'll increase strength by doing the compound exersizes but I am scared that I will have to use less weight on everything else when I return to it. Also, I know the big 3 for PL is bench press, squat and deadlift. I really do not know how to deadlift, first of all. And secondly, could I do the bench press with dumbells? Thats how I normally do them. Should I totally salvage my routine and do the big 3 and a few other lifts for mass. And if I do would it be okay to still do abs, calves, etc?? I need advice please.     | ||

www.deepsquater.com tons of PL info. use lots of compound movements yes, keep doing calves: hell yes. for triceps do close-grip bench, etc. shit like that. still do chins, and BB rows for back. never only do the big 3. PL still use a variety of movements. stick to free-weights | ||

I want to gain muscle mass and get stronger. I'm not too worried about definition. I am small and skinny right now with a good amount of muscle. I usually lift heavy, within the 6 to 10 rep range. I do abs on each training day also. My routine is Monday Chest/arms Preacher curls Skull crushers Friday Legs Saturday Shoulders and back Dumbell shoulder press | ||

Looks solid to me, you don't have many isolation excercises, so you should be gaining strengh and mass on that routine. If you want to include PL into your routine, i say just make your workouts revolve more around the basic three. Other than that your routine looks good, but the amount of sets per day looks a bit high to me... as long as you're not overtraining tho it's fine. ------------------ "how much can you really know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?"
