I just used this routine.. Its a modified SIMPLE strength routine from IronAddicts.com

It gave me about 8 - 9 pounds in 12 weeks and a few lifts increased by at least 45 pounts... It would help to know your stats

When people post routines you never know much about them either... I am 6'6'' and weigh 272 with 12% body fat age 24. I came off of a 4 day split that caused a stall in my prgress.

This routine is M/w/f/m
I give you four days so each week is different then the previous.

Run this for 8-12 weeks or until u stop making progress.. at that point take a week off or lift really light and then go back to your normal split for 4 - 8 weeks cycling from this and your other (probably volume oriented) routine.
