Bro, before anything, I would say you have to find out what works best for you. I think most of us can agree it's trial and error. What works for one will not work for someone else. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't.

The only thing I would say, is take your time and work your way up. Get your form down first. If you don't have form, you could be in for some trouble. Once you get your form down, the weight will start to come.

I agree with Pump

In the words of Fred Durst... "forget about all that he said she said bullshit" and just go feel it out for your self. I know bros who can grow like a week with low reps light weight and some cant grow unless they pack massive amounts on the bar. You need to see what your body needs first. Personally, i do Mon- chest Tue- Back Wed- legs - thur - arms friday shoulders and traps. I also do cardio at the end of ever workout, massing and cutting.
Weight varies.... some days im into lifting heavy and others i just get smooth high reps. I grow with either method because of my supplements.

Good luck, and hand in there. Over all, you need to be consistent. Most people start to see a difference and then quit for 4 months. Once you get in there ... stick to it.
