But this was after lifting for awhile and I wasn't really trying to lose weight.

Six days a week is rather much when lifting heavier weights, 4 day splits seem to work well.
I believe post # 1056 has the routine I mentioned and find it good as it combines 2 days strength and 2 days hypertrophy and does well with adding strength and size. I may also have a similar workout but more intense by Charles Poloquin if you might be interested I could look for it. If your just getting back into it I have a three day split that I use in conjunction with this, usually when I'm cutting 'cause it gives two days for cardio without taking away from weight lifting and sufficient time for recovery, I may have posted that somewhere if not I can dig that out too.
