well first off, every month you switch off between strength, bulk, and endurance.
so the first month, you do strength. 8-10 repetitions of three sets.
2nd month, you do bulk, which is 3-5 repetitions of four to five sets.
3rd month you do endurance, which is 13-15 repetitions of three sets.
strength basically builds strength, bulking builds mass which makes you look bigger, and endurance is bascially burning out your muscles so you get the clean, "cut" look. more like definition in your muscles. i also rotate running and abs every other day since abs are cardio, as well running. i stretch after a workout, not before.

day 1: chest and bi's. working out your chest doesn't use bi's, so working them out on the same day is okay. 8-10 reps of one chest workout of three sets (flat bench), then another chest workout (flies) 8-10 reps of three sets. after, workout your bis, so do 8-10 reps of barbells of three sets, then do 8-10 reps of dumbells three sets. so in total, you should've have worked out two muscles with two different workouts per muscle. after, run or do abs. if you're running, do high interval training, so basically you start off on the treadmill at lvl-5, then every minute step it up .5. keep stepping it up every minute until you're out of breath or about to pass out. in the end your heartrate should surpass 190bpm. then do a 2 minute cooldown that consists of walking or light jogging. after stretch, then there you go, day one is finished. next time you do chest, do incline along with decline, same process. then after do dumbells, flat, incline, decline, flies. keep on rotating.

day2: tri's, back, and legs. workout of your back involves a small usage of bi's and hardly any tri's at all if you do them correctly. same as before, do 8-10 reps of three sets, then do a different workout for tri's, 8-10 reps of three sets. (closegrip bench, skullcrushers, dumbells, etc.) after you finish your two workouts for your tri's, its' time for back. since we're working out your back and legs on the same day, start off by doings squats. (beginners start off with 35 or 45 plates on each side). 8-10 reps of three sets, then after do a back workout, 8-10 reps of three sets. (dumbells, machines) if you're at the gym there's plenty of backworkouts you can do. back workouts are important due to better posture, and overall balances with the abs. so if you don't want to look like a hunched monkey, do your back! cause seems like back and traps are the most muscles overlooked. so right now, you should've finished two types of tri's, then two types of back (squatting does count for back and legs like i've said). after that, workout every muscle in your leg (machines or freeweight legpresses). 8-10 reps per each leg muscle group. you don't need to do two different workouts for each leg. just make sure you target each part of your leg once. after, do your abs then stretch. (abs should take between 15-30 minutes).

day3: shoulder's and trapts (i think thats how you spell it). same as before, two different workouts for shoulders, two different workouts for trapts. make sure you do 8-10 reps per each workout. shoulders and trapts work together, and working them out on the same day strengthens each other. for those that don't know what trapts is, it's basically shoulder shrugs. you can use the barbell and dumbells. this should be an easy day, doesn't require too much time or too much effort. after you workout your tri's and trapts, finish it off with high interval running. if you're looking to build mass, do high interval training, if you're thinking about losing more weight just run for 30-40 minutes at a steady-high pace.

now the next month you're going to be bulking. do exactly the same procedure, but the only thing you're going to change now is the amount of reps and sets you do. 3-5 reps of 4-5 sets. the next month after that, you're going to do burnouts. so basically the same thing but you're only changing from 13-15 reps of three sets.

after your third month, repeat the cycle all over again and start off with strength. after a year of trial and error this is the workout plan that my body is most comfortable with. i do not gain weight or lose weight, and the only weight i gain is muscle mass.
any more questions feel free to ask. now lets hear your manly workouts =]
and the only day you rest is on sunday.
