ok here is the program, its 3 on 1 off, so 6 days a week, after cycle 4 I take 3 days off. let me know what you think? i am thinking of changing my program around for the bulking cycle?

You need more sets than 8 for chest. Work in some dumbells, I like incline bench press. What do you do for triceps? it just says triceps. I recommend 9 total sets. close grip bench, skull crushers, and presses, but since you do chest and tris on the same day (like I do), give weighted dips a go. Nothing, in my opinion, builds mass like dips. You have to do more sets for shoulders also, although military presses are great, they just wont get it done alone.

Thats a real confusing lay out now that I look at it, its too difficult to critique it...

The way I work it is I go 3 days on 1 off, so cycle 1 is 3 days then 1 off, cycle 2 is 3 days then 1 off, etc. once I am done with all 4 cycles which is about 2 weeks I take 3 days off before I start over.

for triceps I do the tricep extension machine. it seems like a pretty confusing layout but essentially comes down to 6 days on 1 off, and each week the day off changes i.e. week one thursday is off then next week friday is day off.

Well the basic idea of a three on 4 split is about what I do. My sets and reps are set up a little differently, but thats just what works for me.

Non the less, I am not sure if doing the same weight for the same rep multiple times is a great idea. IMHO either raise or lower the weight between sets, I see no point in doing the same thing over and over again. Also I like to add in inensity factors rather than just performing straight sets and reps, but not everything gets benefits from those.

The volume dosn't look bad to me considering the 3 on 4, and if 4 per an exercize sets is what works best for then its decent.
