Heres a new workout I put together with the help of:

Monday – Max effort upper body lift
1. Flat Bench Press (Work up to a max set of 3-5 reps)
2. Incline Bench Press (Perform 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps)
3. Bent over Barbell Row (4 sets of 10-15 reps)
4. Bent over rear dumbbell rear delt flyes (2-3 sets of 12-15 reps)
5. Weighted Sit ups (3-4 sets of 8-15 reps)

Wednesday – Max effort lower body lift

2. Squats (3-4 sets of 8-15 reps)
3. Romanian Deadlifts (3-4 sets of 6-10 reps)

Friday – Upper body Repetition
1. Flat Bench Press or Incline Bench Press (3 sets of max reps)
2. Close-grip bench press or Skull Crushers (3-4 sets of 5-10 reps)
3. Chin ups (4 sets of 8-12 reps)
4. Dumbell lateral raise or shrugs (3 sets of 10-15 reps)
5. Barbell Curls (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
6. Reverse Crunches, weighted sit-ups performed in circuit fashion, no rest between exercises

Sunday – HIIT

I changed it up only slightly, most of it is directly from there.

What you guys think?
 
Looks ok, I would put the squats first though. Also, you don't have to, but you could put some form of a shoulder press in instead, db shoulder, military barbell, something along those lines
 
ON Wednesday I would rotate the squats and deads each week. One week do squats to a 5RM the next do deads to a 5RM, also look into adding good-mornings for lower body.
 
thanks for the suggestions. I plan on changing up the workout every week, supplementing different excercises, that work the same muscle as well as different reps, sets amounts.

I'm excited on starting this new routine, uni-work has held me back the past few weeks. I plan on gaining 15+ pounds this summer :)
