after having seen the pics in the user´s pics forum, i´m sure you guys can help me.
i´ve just finiched a diet last week, i dont know my bodyfat percentage, but my abs are visible, i´m not ripped to shreds but i´ve been told that it looks very good now.
so now i´m searching for a good workout routine to build on maximum mass and strength while maintaining my recent body fat percentage. but especially i´m interessted in mass, fat-free mass.
i´m 6´4´´ at 207 pounds (1,93 at 93 kg) and i´m completely natural
my strenght statistics: benchpress: 220 pounds x7
deadlift: 330 pounds x6
squats: 255 pounds x6
i´ve already tried different routines: 4day split, 3 day split, total body, 2day split
the guys in the gym told me to reduce my volume and one of them adviced me this routine:

day 1:
benchpress: 4x10, 8, 6,6
dumbbell incline benchpress: 3x10,8,6
wide grip chins: 3x10,8,6
bent over rows: 3x10,8,6
millitary press: 3x10,8,6
upright row: 3x10, 8, 6
deadlift: 3x8,6,6
abdominal work: 4sets to failure

day 2:
frontsquats: 4x10,8,6,6
legpress: 3x10,8,6
romanian deadlift: 3x10,8,6
calfraises: 4x10-30
close grip benchpress: 3x10,8,6
dips: 3x10, 8,6
barbell curls: 3x10,8,6
abs: 3 sets to failure

you put on more resistance in each set and the last set should be performed to failure, those before 2-4 reps before failure(exept abs)

and the comlete workout scheme:
monday: day 1
tuesday: -
wednesday: day 2
thursday: 30-45 minutes moderate jogging
friday:day 1
saturday: 30 minutes moderate swimming
sunday: -
monday: day 2
etc.

nutrition:
"sport-days":
250g protein
500g carbs
100g fat

sport-free days:
250g protein
300-350g carbs
100g fat

is this a good routine to put on mass while maintaining my body fat percentage ?
do you have a better one ? are there any things left to be improved ?
i hope you guys can help me and i´m thanking you in advance and sorry for the long text
greets ;)

how long have you been lifting for? i dont think anyone can really suggest a certain program as everyone is different so you will need to see how your body responds, as long as your diet is good enough i think nearly any lifting plan will produce results. my advice would be to switch up the exercises every couple of weeks, it much harder to gain lean mass naturally so i think it would be beneficial to shock your body as much as possible, good luck man

hey thank you guys,
i´m lifting for two years now, i´ve startet at 16 and now i´m 18. i´ve also thought about dogg crap, but a good trainer in trainer in the gym advised me to do it later, when i´m more experienced.
i think i´ll give the routine above a try and i´ll swittch the exercises every 8-12 weeks.

damn at your age anything should make you grow man, just keep the intensity high and strict diet and you will be set

I'd suggest one body part per workout or chest/bis shoulders/tris, 4-5 days a week. Keep a journal and record your exercises, sets, reps and weights used and try to beat those weights used the next time you do that exercise.

And at 18 y/o I wouldnt worry about watching your diet too strictly you prolly have a fast metabolism from looking at your stats. Aim for 1.5g protein per lb of body weight, triple that in carbs. I dont count my fat intake.
