Help for a new 3 day split...

Hey guys, its been a while since I've posted around here. I just got off a 2 week layoff, and since the new year is coming up, I'd like to start a new routine. Been lifting properly for almost a year now, 6'0, 200 lbs at the moment. I hit the gym 3 days a week for weights, and my goals are to add 20 lbs of lean muscle, and aiming to keep a toned shape and physique while at it. I've tried bulking before, along with high intensity low volume routines, but it didn't work out for me the way I'd have wanted it to. I tend to wear down real fast while working with low reps. I like to train within the 6-10 rep range aswell. Anyone have a good 3 day split routine they'd like to share?
 
Oh, and I should probably add that deadlifts are a no go for me. I nearly threw my back out in the summer, and haven't been doing them since. Squats and Benching though are in there of course.
 
i just put my friend on a 3 day split it may not work for you but he said it works for him so give it a try it goes like this
mon-chest and bis
5sets of 5 bench presses 3 sets of 10 for incline dbell presses, incline flyes, flat dbell presses, and dips if you have the energy
5 sets of 5 barbell curls 3 sets of 10 with seated alternate dbell curls, hammer curls, preacher curls, and concentration curls..
wed- back tris and forearms
5 sets of 5 bent over rows(u said no to deads) 3 sets of 10 barbell shrugs to front and behind, lat pulldowns, seated cable rows, try good mornings real light at end
5sets of 5 rope pushdowns or close grip bench 3 sets of 10 of one arm and two arm dumbell over the head extensions, skull crushers, kick backs, and one arm reverse cable pulldowns
for foreamrs do light weights and do reverse preacher curls barbell wrist curls, and dumbell wrist curls and reverse dbell wrist curls
fri- legs and shoulders
5sets of 5 squats 3 sets ofd 10 leg presses(with claf presses), seated calf raises, leg curl, and leg extension
5 sets of 5 military presses 3 sets of 10 front dbell raises on incline bench(se bench on incline and rest up against it opposite the normal way.. chest to pad) rear dbell raises on incline bench (same as front) finish with drop sets of side lateral raises

all sets of the 3 sets of 10 are to be completed as a circuit... so for chest you would do your inclinbe dbell presses, then without rest flat dbell presses, then without rest incline flyes, and then without rest dips.... rest about a minuite or 2 then do the cirrcuit 2 more times... like i said before it worked for my friend it may not work for you.. but youll get the mass building exercises (5x5) and then youll get your toning exercises 3 sets of 10 (circuit)
 
you cant tone with a certain rep range..thats just impossible..toning is about diet..

if you want a good routine PB has one in his sticky and IA has made a post with some modified WSB routines he has come up with..
