This is a three day split with AM and PM workout sessions. It allows you to lift weights to failure, and have plenty of rest between workouts. With the right diet, I gained 27 pounds of muscle in a one year period. I went from 192 pounds and 16% body fat, to 216 pounds at 10% body fat.
Start with a warm-up set that you do not record. The set should be a very low weight 16 - 20 reps. Then 12, 10, 8, 6, 4. increase the weight and add sets if you can still complete for reps. You want to lift to failure the final three sets. not failure as in you're tired and don't want to do anymore, but as you literally can't lift the bar anymore. I recommend a Smith machine for safety.
