Thursday - OFF

Friday - Biceps/Triceps

Saturday - OFF

Sunday - Legs/Shoulders

Do you guys think this is a good routine. I just switched it up from doing biceps/back, triceps/chest, legs/shoulders. I added a day and changed things up a bit cuz i felt my body needed a change...seems to be working too...

I personally don't likw it but I'd like ot see the entire routine exercises and sets before passing a final judgement

you are training your delts three times a week?? thats too much! But as smallguy said, we need a breakdown before the final verdict.

Honestly, i think your best off to do a split like this...

Monday - legs
Tuesday - off
wednesday- chest/shoulders/triceps
thursday - off
friday - back/biceps

Do 1 or 2 more things for legs (bigger muscle groups can handle and should be given more exercise.) If you could, give us the sets and reps in these exercises, so we can make sure that you aren't overtraining it. Your split looks good, but if you're doing like 5 sets for each exercise, that's way too much.

Above, i would drop the pullups and pulldowns since they are more for back than biceps/triceps. Thus i edited the bold.....Honestly, Biceps and triceps are a muscle group that i feel that doesnt need all the volume like people think they do. I like to go all out on heavy weights for lower reps and sets (with proper form of course) Right now, You basically have enough volume for arm day for good growth IMO.

One quick Question though....what is your purpose of weighted ab work on monday? what are your goals for this? because weighted ab work is not for the beach look, its for working your core strength to assist your three core movements. Thus, your waist will get thicker. If you are trying to get the beach abs, you need to do high reps with no weights.

Lastly...Im actually impressed with your breakdown. You are not doing the trendy large ammounts of work for everything. basically, if you do two-three work sets per excersize, you should be seeing good gains, unless, of course, your diet is not in check.
