    no, not at all.
    Only 3 days a week?
    only two sets per muscle group?
    reps are too high IMO
    I do(in no certain order):
    chest/tri
    back/bi
    shoulders/traps
    legs

    Training Routine #1:

    Cycle: 3 Days Per Week

    warmup: leg extensions

    Leg Presses: 3 Sets x 12 Reps
    Leg Curls: 2 Sets x 12 Reps
    Standing Calf Raises: 2 Sets x 12 Reps

    Chest/Shoulders: change reps to 10,8,6 and all sets to 3. adding weight everytime and go till failure.That means make it heavy.
    Add at least to more workouts to your chest.
    Flat Barbell Bench Presses: 2 Sets x 10 Reps
    Barbell Shoulder Presses: 2 Sets x 10 Reps wouldnt suggest doing shoulder on this day. Do tris

    Also add a few workouts here for your back
    Front Pulldowns: 2 Sets x 10 Reps

    Do bis on this day if you wait untill tomorow you arms are going to be overtrained.
    Arms:change reps to 10,8,6 and all set to 3. adding weight everytime, go till failure and make it heavy.
    add 2 more workouts to you bis
    Barbell Curls: 2 Sets x 10 Reps
    Lying Tricep Extensions: 2 Sets x 10 Reps dont do these at all on this day

    Shoulders/traps:reps are same as above and sets still go till failure and make it heavy.
    find at least 3 workout for each.
