Need advice on bulk cycle

Hi guys,

Would just like some feedback on a couple training programs Ive put together for my upcoming bulk cycle. Theres three ive yet to decide on which I will be using.

Training Program #1:
Mon: Chest/Triceps
Tue: Cardio/Abs
Wed: Bicep/Shoulder
Thurs: Cardio/Abs
Fri: Legs/Back
Sat/Sun: OFF

Training Program #2:
Mon: Chest/Triceps
Tue: Cardio/Abs
Wed: Bicep/Shoulder/Back
Thurs: Legs/Back
Fri: Start CYCLE OVER
Sat/Sun: OFF

Training Program #3:
Mon: Chest/Triceps
Tue: Bicep/Shoulder/Back
Wed: Legs/Back
Thurs: Start CYCLE OVER
Fri: Continue cycle
Sat OR Sun: Cardio/Abs
(this one can be a little confusing, but basically how it runs is that I would do Mon to Wed, then on Thurs it would be Chest/Triceps, and on Fri it would be Bicep/Shoulder/Back, and Cardio/Abs on Sat OR Sun, then the following Monday it would be Legs/Back and so on.)

So what do you think? Which program do you think would benefit me the most and give me the best results? And other comments. Thanks

P.S. I will be 100% dedicated to any program I choose along side a proper nutrition program tailored for muscle growth. This will be my first bulk after cutting quiet a bit of body fat.
 
i would say use none of them for one reason. there is no way you will thoroughly work your legs and back in the same day unless you are going to train one in the AM and the other in the PM.

i am assuming that you are not going to do back 2 days in a row like it states in program 2 and 3, but i dont know which one is supposed to have the back workout on it. If back is on leg day in each of the programs then I would say that you do not want to work your biceps the day before you do back.

One workout that have been using that I really like is a 4 day a week workout.
MON-back/traps
TUES-thighs
WED-off
THUR-chest/shoulders
FRI-calves/triceps/biceps
SAT & SUN-off

I do a 3day split

backs/biceps
chest/triceps
legs/delts (am/pm)

If you want size concentrate on compound lifts;
Squats
deadlifts
bench
military press
dips
pulldowns
bents over row etc

Sorry for the confusion, I meant to say that I would be working the
Bicep/Shoulder together and then the Legs/Back. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming.
 
i would also like to know what body parts need the most work. Bulking up is great but you want to make sure you are not just bulking up certain parts. you need to try and keep good symmetry. At my work i see a ton of these college frat boy types that do upper body 4 days and then may not even work there legs. for example, my lagging body parts are calves and upper arm which is why i seperated these bodyparts. now i can give my calves and arms all of my focus on their own day.

if your back or legs are lagging, then I would recommend doing them on there own day. but if they are your better body parts it could be ok to try them on the same day. if you could analyze yourself and let us know what you really need to work on and we can suggest a program for you.

As I stated before, this will be my first bulk cycle. For the past year my main focus was on fat loss. At this point I have lost quite a bit of fat and I now think it would be a good idea to start putting on some lean muscle mass. Now to analyze myself, Id have to say that my legs are probably the most built then any other area. Generally, I have a bit of muscle all over my body, but no one area stands out. As well, I still have a bit of fat to work off for more muscle definition, but I think that would be best after a bulk cycle.
