Are the two days split up or usually consecutive? And how much time do you have to work out on these days? I've got no experience to go off of here, but if out in your situation I'd probably do two full body days. One for heavy compounds and one more for hypertrophy. Would need fairly long sessions though and having them split up would be preferred.

Yeah I can split them with About two days between them. I normally stay in there for about 1 hour but if I need to be I can stay more. Just get burnt out with the sets I was doing. Was doing a 15 rep 10 rep and 5 rep for 5 sets on all workouts. And not gaining size just burning out like crazy so I am wanting to change something up to get bigger

I'd say try out a heavy compound day doing 3 or 4 sets of 5-6. Bench/incline, standing overhead press, pull-ups, rows, squats, deads etc. Then for the other day do more volume with higher rep sets and more isolations.

If I only had 2 days I'd squat, power clean , flat db bench day one @ 80 - 95 percent of my 1rm and squat, deadlift, and push press on day 2 at Same percentage add accessory work day two if I felt the need. All at 1-3 reps for 10-15 sets.

Ok my whole confusion with everything is. I want to get big. Like really freakish. Big. What is the reps I need and amount of sets. I know your isolation excersises are high reps. But I am saying like my bench and military press I have been doing 15 reps add 10# then doing 10 reps add another 10. Then doing 5 reps with another 10 added on the weight. Doing that set up 5 times. I get burnt fast. Or should I just be doing the 4 sets of 8-12 and add weight if I get all the reps ?

Different people respond to different types of training, you'll just have to experiment. If you read my post above I outlined the rep ranges a bit. I'd do the heavy compound day with sets of 4-6. Id start with three working sets for each since you will be doing a lot of different movements given your schedule. The isolation day I'd go 8-12 rep range with less time for rest between sets. Amount of sets for each exercise during this workout could vary depending on how many different exercises you are doing.

Edit - your burnout sets are fine for your high volume day as well if you like them. I personally wouldn't do them on the heavy compound day though.
