| UK-M Swimsuit model  | Hello mate, I think that the workout looks good some good excercises there. I'm not to sure about doing shoulders after chest tho as I find that my shoulder workout suffers as I have worked my chest well. Could you do shoulders on there own on a seperate day? A good routine for me in the past has been: Mon Chest Biceps Tue Shoulders Abs Thur Back Triceps Fri Legs Abs Also if you are finding your routine is giving good results then wait until it slips a little then change - keep it fresh  Good luck!

| UK-M Swimsuit model | Also there are a lot of set on your mon and fri days, 6 set then i'm assuming 3 sets of ab's - thats 9 set! Could be over working there mate, four days would be a better split, would keep you to 5-6 sets a workout which is fine IMO. One of the Moderators on this site has wrote a good article called 'How to grow' which will help you out. He keeps it simple and covers some good points. Big's Thread

   | Well, Jamie's look better but Id keep chest and shoulders more than a day apart for recouperation reasons so toss legs after Monday and also add a couple more sets of squats. I dont feel that 3 sets for squats would quite do it. Legs get used alot and support your bodyweight all day long. Than can take a bit of pounding. At the very least do extensions and or leg presses/hack squats or something else. Or a few sets deep and a couple of heavy half squats. You are doing more sets for bicep than tricep. 9 sets is pushing it on the bicep. Bicep is only 1/3 the arm's size. The tricep has 3 heads and the bicep only has 2. So you are doing 9 sets for bicep and 3 for tricep? That would be undertraining the tricep and overtraining the bicep. I also like doing more for the thickening of the back, drop some of that bicep and add deadlifts to your back routein.
