I am in the military and will be getting deployed for 6 months. Every time i deploy i work out but dont stick with it when i get back. This time i plan on sticking with it. Any advice on a routine for 6 months? I'm trying to gain mass and i know i will have to take in alot of calories which wont be a problem. the problem for me is getting a routine that works for me.

What would be a routine that doesn't work? ...

focus on the big compound moves in an 8-10 rep range.

Bench

Squat

Row

Deadlift

Overhead press

and the variations on all of those.

How many days a week do you want to train?

I don't know where you are deploying to but I have only seen a couple of places in the middle east that didn't have fairly decent workout facilities but even they had enough to do the basics.
