Novice routines get posted and discussed all the time and its pretty clear by now what to do there.
But what about the more expierenced lifters? Pls send help

TM is shit if your main goal is gaining muscle mass. Its a strength program

Best routine I've ever been on by far. Similar to PHUL but I always wanted to do more on the upper hypertrophy day.

Something along these lines. This is my autistic template but by no means is it the only way to do it. I change specific exercises depending on what's available at the gym.
Willing to answer more questions about it but pretty self explanatory.

how? I did SS and added some acessories and made sick gains
also studies point out that if you lift till failure in the 3x5 or 3x12 range you'll get equal amounts of muscle mass

For novices the strength program approach is great. But intermediate and beyond lifters need way more volume to gain muscle as much as possible, especially in areas like arms and shoulders... TM and similar programs will indeed build some muscle aswell, but it's not as effektive for that purpose and most of strength programs tend to be very lower body dominant.

well then what should I do my man?
I want to reach hercules mode(maybe I have demi-god genetics, who knows) but got no clue on what program to follow after I finish my cut(~1month left)
I was thinking of TM or Madcow but I want to stop squatting or my legs will get too big compared to my upperbody
OP pic is fucking goals
6 day bro split. SRS
Legs
Chest
Back
Legs
Shoulders
Arms
Throw in abs/calves as necessary. Always start with a heavy compound i.e. bench or incline bench on chest day, deadlifts or barbell rows on back day, weighted dips on arm day, OHP on shoulder day, squats on leg day etc. Follow that by accessory work.
Bumping the only fucking actual lifting thread I see on this board.
I do A-rest-B-rest repeat
A being bench, squat, and a couple arms and chest isos like dumbell flys, preacher curls, tri extension, chest pullover ect.
B being deadlift, OHP, and a couple other back and shoulder isos shrugs, chinups ect.
Rest days I do a little cardio and abs
