I was on HST for 4 weeks, and ever since then I have been shuffling between different routines. I just can't really seem to construct one that will produce slow and steady gains like I wish. I'm a bodybuilder, so of course my goal is to grow (total body).
5'8"
182lbs
8%BF
Bench Press 275x1
Squat 375x1
Don't really know of anymore info that would help so I'll just go ahead and post the latest routine I devised, and I would GREATLY appreciate any feedback given from the experts here. I'm just getting confused with all of the information out there. I grew off of compound lifts and having my highschool trainer/strength coach yell in my ear for 4 years. Anyhoo, this is a routine I came up with

Monday
DB Bench Pressx3
Incline Barbell Pressx3
Flat Bench Fliesx2
Skull Crushersx3

Tuesday
Squats(ATF)x5
Lungesx3
Leg extensionsx3

Thursday
SLDLx5
Leg Curlsx3
Military Pressx3
Front Raisesx3

Friday
Deadliftsx4
Barbell Rowsx2
Shoulder Shrugsx2
DB Pulloversx3
Barbell Curlsx2

I've never really been on a once a week target for very long. I just figured after following HST this would be a good way to periodize. The rep range is around 3-6 for compounds and 8-10 for isolations. Any comments on this? Does it look rediculous? I've never been real good at constructing workouts, so please give me some feedback. (I know this question gets asked everyday to all of you so I apologize in advance if seeing the "Critique my routine" phrase makes you want to hurl.)
