Yes, I know that the topic of working out has been done to death but I was wondering if anyone knew where someone could get a decent workout plan.

5/5/5 and Rippletoe are good places to start. Make sure you eat a lot. And sleep a lot. And you will get bigger.

i second what big says, do not underestimate how much you need to eat. eat every 3 hrs, try to keep it clean (chicken, turkey, tuna, fish, steak occasionally, brown rice, whole grains, eggs, peanut butter, avocado, evoo). eat/repeat

I'm a big fan of compounds but the problem I have with Rippetoe is you can't just rely on big compounds to work secondaries- if you only do bench, you are going to plateau just because your triceps will be so underdeveloped.

Men's Health usually has some good workouts. Their 15 minute workouts are usually a pretty good way to get a small work out in at home if you can't get to the gym.

ideating- when i was on rippetoe i added weighted dips/tri pushdowns and chinups/preacher curls 3x8 once a week to get a bit more arm isolation and found it worked really well

I just did the first day of the stronglifts.com 5x5 program, which is very similar to Rippetoe. Before that I did lots of compound lifts but with a lot of randomness in reps/sets/daily lineup of exercises (all intentional, to work my muscles in many different ways). I've gotten tired of coming up with new routines every day though and wanted to see if a simpler program could work for me. I liked the first workout, but my "tweaking" urges have already kicked in - I'm thinking of doing two days a week (instead of the recommended three) so I can add in a cleanup day for abs, grip work (weak point on my deadlift), and some explosive/sprint/circuit work.
