> ever try buddy curls??? load a bar with 5lb plates, and you and your buddy keep curling. the only time one of you stop is to strip off a 5lb plate. it is around 10 nonstop sets, your arms are done.  
> anyway, the one guy made a good point. it is important to eat many meals throughout the day to pack on size. keep the meals small, so you don’t have excess calories sitting in your stomach. right now, i weigh around 250lbs., and i eat around 8-10 meals per day. but 3 of those are protein shakes.  
> if you are shoulder pressing more then you bench, it could be your routine. you should never do chest with shoulders or triceps. the reason is that both of those muscles help when you bench. you really want to do a push/pull system. for example bis/tris, quads/hams/ chest/shrugs back/tris. if you are doing chest with with shoulders/tris, you are wearing out those muscles, and then working them out, you are making them stronger then your chest. try just doing chest only, and stick with sets of 6 reps or less. that will put in a mass lifting phase, and your bench will go up quickly.

That is a set up pretty much like mine. I break it up into 3 days.

Day 1 Chest/Back…usually 4 exercises (2 chest/2 Back) 3 sets each then I do two more (one of each) for either 2 or 1 sets.

Day 2 Legs/DL’s…SQUATS, DL’s, front squats (alternate in other exercises depending on how my lower back feels), and calve raises. All 3-4 sets of each.

Day 3 Shoulders/arms/traps…some standing shoulder presses, power cleans and presses, one curl exercise, one tri exercise, and shrugs. All 3 sets and I superset bi’s and tri’s.

Of course I have a few rest days in there…I always try to hit each day within 10-12 days.
