Most effective split routine?

Subject Description

Hey all, I am eight months into my weight training to build mass and I am curious if I am on the right track.  I have been doing a Mon-Thur (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Abs) and Tue - Fri (Legs, Back, and Biceps).  I am 6'0, 190 lbs, but have an ectomorphic build.. up until my thirties... ;).  To drive home this fact my wrist circumference by my hand is 6.75 inches.

 My routine has been consisting of 3 sets of 10,8,6 of increasing poundage for each muscle group.  Increasing the weight every week.  I am eating clean meals with protein six times a day, suplementing with creatine, GNC multivitamin and Omega 6 fish oil capsules.  I can see a nice difference in the mirror, yet when compared to other people of similar weight and height, it seems my poundages are WAYYY off.  

I work out at home with a Bodycraft Express Pro, in my opinion is a great home gym.  With no desire to join a public gym, or access to a spotter it suits me to a tee.  Yet on this machine setting the weight stack at 120 for 10 reps, just about makes me immobile.  And I see people talking about a 250lb bench press... Just makes me think I am missing something in my training. 

Hence my question if anyone has been in similar circumstances, or could lend some advice on how to tweak my routine and lead me to make the gains I would like (ie. a 250 lb Bench Press), I would appreciate it.  

Thanks guys.

	well.. Even though creatine makes your muscles look bigger it gives some false results where you gain water mass where water and fiber harden to look like muscle making u look better in the mirror but if you stopped taking creatine you would lose it and look less fit Posted by tkjhamak on Dec. 26, 2007 at 11:51PM
