Going to slowly setup gym at home with two friends and I want to get started ASAP using the equipment i've got. I'm just looking for help creating a routine with the sole aim being bulking up. I'll add cardio on off days and I play 6 a side football weekly.

Equipment at the moment (Not much, I know)

Bench (Bench press, laying leg curl, seated leg extension, wide arc chest fly)
Dumbells
Barbell
Tricep and Arm curl bar
Boxing bag
Bike

Pretty sure I want it over three days:

Monday - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Wednesday - Back, biceps
Friday - Legs

Thanks for any helps guys, really looking foward to getting back into it again now Christmas is over :D

My old 3 day split, I mean OLD when I first started out, was:

Day 1:
Chest / Shoulders / Tri's

Day 2:
Back / Bi's

Day 3:
Legs

You could remove shoulders from day 1 and add them to day 3 if you wished. But I have always preffered to train legs on their own day as the effort is monumental and after a heavy leg workout you should be too tired to work anything else. That's my belief.

I was looking for actual lift advice, sorry for not clarifying i'll sort it now :p

I think he wants it a bit more specific than that mate ;)

I do indeed :D

I already use that website quite frequently Penh, cheers though.

I'll have a look for that Westside routine now.
 
Monday
Behind neck press 3x8
Dumbbell front raise 3x8
Barbell upright row 3x8
Bench press 3x8
Close grip bench press 3x8

Wednesday
Deadlift 3x8
Bent-over dumbbell row 3x8 (each arm)
Barbell shrug 3x8
Barbell curl 3x8
Dumbbell hammer curls 3x8

Friday
Squat 3x8
Lunge 3x8
Laying leg curl 3x8
Seated leg extention 3x8
Crunches

Above is my idea for a routine. I'm guessing there's probably some problems or room for improvement and that's why i've posted it here. I've given the equipment that will be available in the initial post. All comments are welcome :)

Diet related question....
I'm unsure on advice to give one of my friends who i'll be working out with. He's naturally fairly strong but is quite chubby (not huge). I'm not sure just bulking and eating like I will be is the best idea?

Starting tommorow, can't wait :D
