Hi everyone!
My first post here and I hope I can get some useful info and help.

I've been trying all sorts of routine from wendlers 531, 5*5 to you name it.

but currently im trying something on my own, i have an upperbody and a lowerbody workout that i do for 5-6 days a week.

Mon: Upper
Tue: Lower
Wed: Upper
And so on...

On upper days i do one press exercise and one fly for chest, one pull up and one row for the back.
Usually lateral sideraises and something for the rear delts.
I do core/abs on every workout.
If I have the time and energy ill do arms in the end of the workout.

On lower body day I do squats or legpresses depending on how my lower back feels. (im standing still most of the time in my line of work which can tax my lumbard)
Then I do something isolated for my quads and something for my hamstrings. I finish of with the glutes.

Example:
Upper body:

Dumbellpresses 5sets of 8-12 or 15-20reps

Pull ups 5sets of a rap

CX/dumbell flys 5sets of 8-12 or 15-20reps

Seated CX row 5sets of 8-12 or 15-20reps

Lateral sideraise 5sets of 8-12 or 15-20reps

ab rollout or dragonflags 5sets of as many as I can minus 1-2

Rear delts 5sets of 15-20reps


Lower body:
Squats 5sets of 10reps
Hamstring curl 2sets with 6-8reps one legged, and 3sets with 15-20 both legs.

Legkicks 2sets of 6-8 one leg, 3*15-20 both legs

Windsheild wipers or woodchoppers 5sets of 8-12 or amrap for the bw exercise.

Hiptrusters with miniband around the knees 5sets of amrap (looking for the insane painfull burn here)


Worth noting is that I now do my own TRT with 250mg test ew and has done it for 3w. Might bump it up once or twice per year but as of now im just interested in keeping my lvls abit higher then a healthy young man for the health benefits.


Do any of the more experienced gymrats have any input on this?
It would be greatly appreciated!

With regards Veneartio
 
For pure mass gains, focus on compound lifts and get plenty of rest. When evaluating your upcoming goals and setting a plan for them, always look to your diet first. You get big in the kitchen. When I'm bulking, I can do basically any routine and gain mass. Because my diet is on point of lean mass gains.
 
My diet is pretty clean, i eat meat and vegetables and if im gonna lift abit heavier ill add some more carbs.
Tho i have a ben and Jerrys every sunday as my cheat meal.
 
Atm its mass, when i reach 90-95kg ill go for pure strenght

To be honest with you if your end goal is strength training. Doing anything other than strength training is just going to make your strength goals take longer. You wont increase your totals doing straight hypertrophy. If your going to get into powerlifting it's best to just jump into it and stick with it IMO. The best part of powerlifting is it doesnt matter what size you are.

I wanna reach a certain size and then maximize the strength at that muscle mass, bigger muscles = bigger potential strength.
And since I dont compete i don't have to concern myself with the power/bw issue and that's why I think is a better move to gain size first and then strength.

Might be wrong tho

Well I will say this most powerlifters don't "look strong" bigger muscles don't necessarily mean stronger muscles. Just as an example. Louie Simmons is one of the strongest guys in the world. He has an Elite total in 5 different weight classes. Even in his hay day didn't "look" very strong.
