A few months back my mate Joel/Vatic introduced me to a workout on T-Nation known as the shotgun method.

I tried this out for 2 months a while ago and made some decent gains. I'm now reverting back to the method again, for another 2-3 months. I think it's a good routine the downside is it can sometimes get boring doing the same exercises over and over again xD

But yeah, just thought i'd share the workout. What do you guys think of it?

(I'm changing some of the trouble shooting exercises though)
