Rep Power: 0Shaka is an unknown quantity at this point

I'm new to the site so I would like to say a big hello to all
I have been reading all the topics on site and I'm very impressed with the level of advise you offer those that need it so I feel I'm in the right place to ask for some if it's not to much trouble.

I want to start going to the gym again after many failed attempts in the past and stick to a program that's easy to understand and follow. My goals are to put on mass and shape with time.

I work 12+ hours a day so I will be able to go to the gym for a 1 hour 30 mins max in the afternoon.So I need a program that will be able to give me the most of my time in the gym.

So if there is any one out there that can help me with a routine / program to follow
I would truly be grateful for your help.

Always good to see someone getting into the game.
With time being such a constraint I would start with this split:

Day 1 - Chest/Tris (Incline bench/Flat bench/flyes/Tricep pushdown)
Day 2 - rest
Day 3 - Back/Bis (Wide grip chins/Bent over row/Close grip pulldowns/deadlift/ b/bell curl)
Day 4 - Rest
Day 5 - Legs/Shoulders (Squat/ leg curl/ leg press/ calf raises/ Military press/side lateral/bent over lateral/ shrugs)
Day 6 - Rest
Day 7 -Repeat programme

This way, what with working so much, you have a full day of rest between sessions. You may find it easier to work out everyday and train one muscle group at a time to make the most of your time. Also, this way you may be able to add some more exercises to your sessions.
For making mass gains aim for 2 main sets of each exercise with reps in the 6 - 8 range.
Make sure you're taking in enough calories and protein to make good gains.
Give this a try, see how you get on. And there are plenty of other routines, exercises and opinions on this site if some of this (or all of it!) doesn't work well for you!
Good luck!

Good workout Rocky, give it a go Shaka. May have problem if gym is not open 7 days so just have extra day off on day 7 if this is the case.
If you have not trained in a while Shaka, just ease into it for the first few weeks and the gains will come fast when you can start pushing yourself.

for people who are coming back I usually recomend the following program. after 4- 5 weeks increase by 1 set and drop to 8 reps and increase weight accordingly.
Some will disagree, proof is in the smile of satisfied customers, whats 4-5 weeks give it a crack good luck Shaka.

45 - 60 minutes tops if training without a partner, 1 minute break max between sets don't get caught up talking and you will be fine.

*Lay on your back, on a flat bench.
*hold curling bar (EZ Bar) in the centre, above your chest with straight arms.
* Keeping your elbows in tight, bend your arms so the bar comes down towards your forehead. (thus the name skull crushers).
*Then straighten your arms again. (and that is 1 rep)
*once you build some strength in this movement I like to hold my arms so that when they are in the straight position, my elbows are actually near my face. (just stresses the tri's a little more.

NOTE: START LIGHT, THIS IS GOOD FOR BEEFING UP THE TRI'S, BUT CAN STRESS THE ELBOWS ALOT...........BE CAREFUL............GOODLUCK!!!!!!!!!

looks like everyone has good routines but the main thing imo is not to worry bout the time cuz most of my workouts don't go over an hour except for legs which takes me bout an hour and 20 min or so

I agree hole heartedly with Fallen, this is a very important factor in training that a lot of guys neglect. Too many see the gym as a socializing opportunity. Don't get me wrong have a chat but a minute at a time.
