Alright, so that'* my routine. As you can see I'm going for mass. I'm also taking a good amount of supplements to help me out. Since I'm a hard gainer I'm taking a high calorie protein rich mixture twice a day. I drink a whey protein shake pre and post work out. I also drink a Casein protein shake before bed. I just got some Creatine so I'm taking that as well. Oh, got a great multi-vitamin that I take 3 times a day with my meals.
So, what do y'all do?

Not that big.
It'* all about working one group, then the next day work the opposite group. Don't forget you need a lot of protein, between .75 and 1 gram per day per pound of body weight.
Lower the fat intake below 15% and you start to show definition.

I weigh 135 right now and I'm taking in about 168g of protein in a day. I started out skinny. I only have about 2% body fat anyway so showing deffinition will not be a problem, just gotta get the muscle there to show.

I do not see any dead lifts in there. Do most not even do them these days?
They work all the muscle groups in the body.
I just need to stop eating the wrong stuff. Need to cut back on carbs, way back.

No, no dead lefts. With other things I'm doing I don't need to, I'm trying to isolate groups on different days. If I did deadlifts it would disrupt my "rest periods".
Also, I weiged myself at the start of my routine. I was 131. It'* only been a week, but I've put on weight already! I weighed in at 138 Monday morning. Pics attached.
