Ive heard alot of people suggest oatmeal to me, whats so big about oatmeal??
Just curious because i looked on the ingredients and it doesnt look anything special.

Ive kinda wrote down a routine based on what ive been getting as feedback. I wanted to go with 3 days a week, but it was just too many exercises in a day and i think i would probably neglect to do some of them. I work a hard labor job as well, so with that in mind i went more with Winger's initial suggestion of one part a day, except i bunched bi's and tri's together to get an extra day off.... Here goes:

Monday
[Biceps & Triceps]
-EZ Bar Curl + Close Grip Bench Press
-Hammer Curl + Rope Press down
-Reverse Barbell Curl + Bench Dips

Wednesday
[Chest]
-Bench Press
-Incline Dumbbell Press
-Butterflies

Friday
[Back]
-Dumbbell Rows
-Straight Arm Pull-Down
-Good Mornings
-Dumbbell Shrug

Saturday
[Legs]
-Squat
-Weighted Calf Raises
-Leg Extension
-Reverse Extension

Sunday
[Shoulders]
-Arnold Press
-Front Dumbbell Raise
-Lateral Dumbbell Raise

Any feedback would be nice, but i did have some few concerns with the routine i wasnt sure about how to work out if you guys could help me out?

1.) I moved tri's together with bi's to open another day up, does that look like it should work out alright? Or should i do a separate day for tri's also OR add them to Chest day?

2.) On the back day, is that too much for the back? I was trying to throw shrugs in also, but not sure if its too much for that day or not, what do you guys think?

3.) On legs... with the Squats are the extensions really neccessary?? And if not can you guys suggest maybe another exercise or should i stick with the extenstions... seems like same muscles though to me.

4.) On shoulders, should i stick with the Arnold Press or go with military press or both?

You will probably notice there is no ab routine in there, but i take cardio kickboxing and 3-4 times a week right now and they pound our abs with every crunch and sit-up movement imagenable so thats the reason for that.

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!!
