Did you not read my last post at all?

Full body. Every Muscle in one workout. focusing on compound exercises. Go read the stickies in the weight training forum.

I am currently doing 3x full body and it is working wonders because I am eating alot too (given that 80% of my stuff is good... the other 20% bad), but I have gained 7lbs since the beginning of November, so I find that fairly decent. Full body is perfect for bulking, so check it out. Here is an example:

Full Body Workout:
Deadlift – 2 x 8
Rear Delt Raises – 1 x 8
Squats – 2 x 8
Dumbbell Curl – 2 x 8
Bench Press – 2 x 8
Chin Ups – 2 x failure
Military Press – 2 x 8
Calf Raise – 1 x 8
