Default my full body routine

im starting on my bulk and would like to hear what you guys think about my routine. im doing a 3 day full body workout. i will be working out on tue,wed,thu. i know this is not a good schedule(working out 3 days in a row) but these are the only days that my school gym is open.

a sample workout day would look like this:

squats - 3 sets
bench press - 3 sets
pendlay rows - 3 sets
military press - 3 sets
bb triceps extension - 2 sets
bb/db curl - 2 sets
bb/db shrugs - 2 sets

reps will change from time to time and exercises will also change(but mostly compound of course). i like to mix things up. i also like to do cardio for 30-45 mins on my off days and maybe some ab workout.
are 3 sets not enough, too much? what do you guys think?
thanks

3 days in a row is not bad, but 3 days in a row working the same parts IS VERY BAD.

A whole body routine is suited best with days in between each session for rest and recovery.
And with your schedule, this is exactly the reason you need to ditch the idea of a whole body routine and split your routine up into a 3 day split.

This is a far superior routine for you.....

Tue - Legs
Wed - Back/Biceps
Thur - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps



Or combine Shoulders with Legs if you'd like

The point is, you can easily make gains on this routine.......Ugghh, not so much with the one you posted LOL

how many sets for each exercise would you recommend?

anyways what do you think of this routine:

Tue - Squats, Bench Presses, Pendlay rows OR deadlift, barbell shrugs

Thu - Squats, Overhead presses, barbell rows OR deadlift , barbell shrugs

Sat OR Sun (at home) - DB Curls, DB extensions, sit ups, push ups

3-4 sets each exercise

Tue - Legs
Squats - x 5 sets
Front Squats x 5 sets
Calve raise x 4-5 sets
Seated calve raise x 4-5 sets


Wed - Back/Biceps
Deadlifts x 5 sets
BB Rows x 5 sets
Chin ups or Pulldowns x 4 sets
Facepulls x 2-3 sets
BB curls x 3 sets
DB curls x 2-3 sets


Thur - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Flat Bench x 5 sets
Incline Bench x 5 sets
Military Press x 3-4 sets
Side raises or w/g upright row x 3 sets
Close grip bench x 3-4 sets
Overhead Extensions x 3-4 sets


And then only moderate cardio on the off days, maybe 3 days a week
