Anyone have a great 3 day full body workout routine? I'll share mine and give me some of your opinions on what may be better, or wrong with my routine.

Currently, I'm trying to gain about 10-13lbs and eating over maintenance. I perform a timed 1.5 mile run on Tuesday and Thursday for Air Force PT requirements and can usually knock that out in 10mins. After that, i just do abs for a little bit.

This is what i got so far.

Push:
Bench press
Dips
Incline dumbbell press
Overhead Press
Triceps Extension

Pull:

Pull ups
Rows
Pull downs
Dumbbell Row
Curls

Legs:

Squats
Leg machine
Lunges
Hyper extensions
Calve Raises

You're not doing all of those exercises each day are you? Picking 1, maybe 2 from each body part maximum right?

why would you want to work your whole body in three days?

I think he may have meant M,W,F, or something similar to that.

I know I for one am a big fan of full body workouts, esp with alternating rep ranges, 4,6,8, in that order!

I'm talking whole-body sessions.

Usually, mine consist of the following:

Squat variation
Glute-ham strengthener
Compound push (chest and stabilizing/supporting muscle groups)
Compound pull (lats and stabilizing/supporting muscle groups)
Abs (usually using cables, twists, etc...)
