Need Help With Routine

[ZGzaZ]

Hey guys, I havent posted for a bit...but have still been around reading and seeing whats going down. Over the past 6 months, I've gained lots of strength, all exercises have went up, and the big 3 have gone up around 30-50lbs each...heres the thing, I've gained a lot of strength, but little to no mass. I believe the reasoning of it to be i've been doing minimal sets each day with heavy weights and low reps. I need to switch to a routine with a higher rep scheme.

I've read that the first year or two you grow best off reps of 8-12,
the later on you grow better off low reps with heavier weights. I never really used the 8-12 scheme... Anyone with recommendations of set amounts/reps please chime in.
My split will look like his:

Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Legs
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Back/Shoulders
Friday - Arms
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off

I weigh in at 192, 9% bf, 6'0.

Eating LOTS of clean foods, take in lots of carbs while bulking, and protein is around 2g/pound of lean body mass.

Everyone responds differently to training. I was similar to you at first. I started lifting when I was 18, and I was slow to gain in both strength and size. Over the first say five years I grew to about 200 pounds which was a 55 pound increase in body weight. I started with a bench max of 115 and a squat max of probably 160. After the first five years I was at bench of 225 and squat of about 350, bench has always been my weakest lift. I was 6' at 18 and I'm now 6'3". After the first five years I really leveled off and didn't put as much effort or attention into lifting. So I was pretty stagnant for about three years. After finding this board and reinvesting myself into some new training and eating techniques I've gained 30 pounds and a ton of new strength in all of my lifts. I'd agree that you respond well when your starting to high reps and then respond better to low reps after you have developed a nice base, that's exactly how it worked for me. It also depends on your body type, ectomorph etc. You look to be an ectomorph judging from your picture and your height of 6'. You will gain strength at first much quicker than size. I think at 192 your looking and gaining very well. You need to decide where you want to be and set your goals accordingly. I've come to realize that with a long frame it takes a great deal more to look massive compared to guys that are well under the 6' mark. As for your main question about adding size it really just takes time and effort unless you cheat.

thank you for your input. Like I said, ive gained a lot of strength, but little mass, my maxes for everything have went up...

flat bench = 280
dead = 395
squat = 365

of course these are just the big three, but everything else has went up too.
