Ok. I been having a bit of a problem as far as gains in strength are concerned lately so i thought i would post my workout and have you guys tear it apart. Not really tring to get huge just decently big with some definition. diet is extemely clean. no gear to date. maybe in the future.
I am 5'11' @ 183 porbably about 12 -15%bf. Never had it tested.

increase weight with lower reps. if you like the pyramid on bench and incline go with 10-7-5-3-1. Sets like 8-8-5-5 have work for me too. If you've been up around 15 reps for a while I'd say don't go any higher than 10reps. For me I do better with doing 8-10 for a two sets then 3-5 for two sets. I tried just doing higher reps and just lower reps and neither increased my weights I gotta do both.
 
looks like a prescription for overtraining!take a look at the stickies and try a new routine.i favor the 3 day basic powerlifting split.i like it it works well. start to focus on lifts instead of muscle groups ie.squat bench dl.
