A few ways to put the exercises together.
I like to do things like Chest and Back on the same day. Or Shoulders and Biceps/triceps.
Another type of workout is the Mass building one I used last year. For this routine Do the 5 big lifts together in one day: Bench, Squat, Deadlifts, Should Press, Lat Pullovers. Do these using the same progression of increasing weight and decreasing reps for a total of 5-7 sets. I can attest to how quickly you will increase your lifts as I went from max weights of 160, 205, 185 to 235, 315, 315 in bench squat and deadlift respectively in about 4 and a half weeks.
Also remember rest is VITAL to your progress. In the above program I only did those 5 lifts twice a week and made sure to get a minimum of 40 hours of rest between lifting days. Obviously, if the intensity is lower you can take less time off but muscles generally recover between 70-80% in the first 24 hours after a solid lifting session and are about back to 95% after 48 hours.
I don't pretend to be a certified personal trainer but I am an avid health enthusiast and hopefully some of this will be beneficial to anyone who wants to read it. I encourage you to do your own research but if you have any questions about the exercises or anything else feel free to post them here.
Cheers FTR
