    working out 12/14 days may be overkill

    If you want size, this may not be a good choice. i will list everything i dont like about it, it is not in any specific order

    1. your back is more important than your bis, putting your bis first is hurting your back poundages thus hurting your back growth
    2. THeir is no way that i can get a productive delt workout the day after bis and back, but some guys do it, i dont agree with it
    3. YOur chest, your most important muscle, is heavily fatigued the day after shoulders, Working out chest the day after shoulders is just a terrible idea, your poundages will be so off and with sore shoulders and back, 2 very imp muscles that get used in chest ex's. =overtrained
    4. you are using your delts 3 days in a row.
    5. you have no where near enough recover days, the 1 day of rest you use is simply not enough.

    you will loose massive amounts of muscle doing this split unless you are loaded up on test.

    Im by no means an expert. Im in my second week of my first cycle, taking loeffler 4l-a testosterona 750mg a week, 1cc EOD. I learned 3 rules I go by..
    1. Train hard
    2. Eat harder
    3. Rest hardest

    If you dont give ur body ample time to recover, you'll never progress.

    IMO your definately over training your triceps. You use tri's primarily when doing tricep workouts, but you also use them in a minor fashion during shoulders and chest...

    maybe consider this which has worked great for me

    day 1 chest/bis
    day 2 legs
    day 3 off
    day 4 off
    day 5 delts/tris
    day 6 off
    day 7 back

    if you feel that you dont need day 4 off, go with out it, but the idea is to have absolutely ZERO soreness and to be FULLY RECOVERED by delt day.

    also, i can see you want to give your arms their own day. it is not really necessary. your arms get torn up nice and good in other compound movements which are more important.

    what you need to do is put the priority of chest, back delts and legs over arms. pair chest with bis and pair delts with tris, they will be about 90-95% strong. trust me bro, chest back and shoulders is what you want to build up if you want big arms. your arms will stay in proportion to those. see where i am goin here? i am also willing to guess you spend way to much time on arms. Having a bi only and tri only workout is a waste of time because you shouldnt be working them out that long.

    thanks for taking the criticism positively.

    I would suggest you do something like:

    M- Chest / Triceps
    T - Back / Biceps
    W -Legs
    Th -Rest
    F - Shoulders / Traps
    Sa- Rest
    Su - Rest

    abs - a couple of times a week. At 185lbs at 8%, I wouldn't make abs a major priority item while trying to get some size like doing them every other day as you are now.....just enough to keep them sharp.

    On these days, really blast each muscle group with some heavy, low rep high intensity exercises and take the muscle groups to pretty much failure. Then let them rest for 6 days before hitting it again. Make sure to keep your protein up to about 2g per pound of bodyweight and pump glutamine at about 15g a day.

    Remember it is the time OUT of the gym that you grow, not while you are pumping weights. The purpose of the weights is to tear it down so you can grow. Make sure you are hitting your legs pretty hard as well.....I haven't met a single bodybuilder yet with substantial size that hasn't had a good set of wheels.

    Best of luck.

    Hey RedBaron, I know its better to work on chest/tri and back/bis, but does it make a big difference if I swap the tri and bi, my bis aren't getting much after i'm done my back, forarms are already weak.
