powerbuilding routine

EXTREME FASCIST
dadawg probably knows my situation from the other posts but im tired of always trying to cut and i always look the same. STOP trying to get smaller and get more muscular which helps burn more fat over time or when you do cut. adding 20-25 pounds of muscle with no extra fat is definately my goal, always has been. i want to move some heavy ass weights and build muscle and get leaner. i havent tried it this way so im giving it a shot. im 14% BF right now and would like to be 10%

in the past i used to bulk but those fat days are over. im going to eat like DC recommends. i choose oats for my carb staple and will eat as much as i can (they;re filling anyway) until 6pm then just green vegetables. my fat is udo's choice and flaxseed oil, 1-2 TBSP each with 2-4 whole eggs per day although i might make that 6. i think i will also go back to using isopure protein drinks but mainly for post-workout. not sure if i want to mess with dextrose or those high GI sugars. ive been doing 1 cup oats post-workout. perhaps a blend of both would be best with the protein drink or egg whites.

this is what i had in mind. the exercises are NOT new to me. i did 3 days/week before, 5 is too much, never tried 4.

ALSO, I WANT TO BUILD MY SHOULDERS, ESPECIALLY THE MEDIAL HEAD.
SHOULD I HAVE A DAY DEVOTED TO SHOULDERS OR GO BACK TO MY OLD ROUTINE AND DO THEM WITH CHEST/TRIS??
I mean, i want to train like a powerlifter. i still see some pressing overhead and doing side laterals. im not into meets or competing in either sport.
i really want to have a day devoted to them as i have no energy to train shoulders after chest.

powerbuilding routine: heavy weights

MON: Legs
squats

TUE: Shoulders
presses
upright rows
side laterals

THUR: Back/Bis
deadlifts
db or bb rows
straight bar curls or db alternate curls

FRI: Chest/Tris
incline db or bb or smythe
flat db
weighted dips
close-grip smythe

high protein, as many carbs you want to stave off hunger pangs but CUT OFF CARBS AFTER 6PM, ONLY GREEN VEGETABLES
cardio 45 in the mornings 3-6 times per week.

keep us posted on how it goes.

hey pullinbig, whats up? im going to take a week off of weights (after 16 weeks) and do dnp to lose fat and then be refreshed and start this routine along with that diet.

do you think i should keep it like that at 4 days per week?
i really dont know what builds my shoulders, if presses help, im sure they do, so am i ok with this routine as far as spacing the days out, etc?
 
ive decided to stick with 3 days a week. plenty of rest

MON: Legs
squats

WED: Chest/Tris/Shoulders
incline db
flat db
weighted dips (elbows out)
close-grip bb or smythe
upright rows and some heavy side laterals

FRI: Back/Bis
deadlifts
db or bb rows
straight bar curls or db alternate curls
