    we miss some information, goals, diet, stats etc... but it sounds goods to me. Where are your days off ? (you should particularly take one between day 4 and 5 and I would also take on between day 2 and 3).

    remember that rest days are the only time for muscle to build up and construct themselves, TAKE PROTEIN too

    If you are under 170 pound.. I think you avoid cardio or put it at 20 min instead of 45min.

    Dood.. squats.. real squats.. and why curls on shoulder day?
    and why not consilidate some shoulder excercises into chest day and omit shoulder day. then try to work from a 6 day rotation instead of 7 because i think you will be fully recovered w/in 5 days for sure i mean im redy in 6 days and im a fairly large boy..and if you try it and it works then think about it .. in 7 weeks or working out you gained 1 extra week of GROWTH.. thats like a 1 on 1 off 1 on 1 off 1on 1 off repeat..
    Chest/Tri/Shldr
    Legs/abs
    Bak/Bi/Traps/Rear Delts.
    and if you increase your rest i.e. sleeping vegitating you might recover even sooner.

    Dood.. squats.. real squats..
    Squats real squats were in last routine. Thought I'd go single leg for 6-7 weeks, come back to real squat and has heavier lifts.

    I may have to change to a three day routine yet work is pushing for me to do shifts which means I won't be able to lift on work days. Hours will be either 7am- 7pm or 7pm to 7am. 3-4 shifts per week don't know the layout yet. Instead of 6:30am-3pm or 3pm-11:30pm monday to friday. This is really pissing me off. (The work thing) I spend ages doing research getting my diet to the way it is. Getting in 7 meals a day monday to friday. My weekends are weak and need work but that is something to aim for. Getting close to getting in eight meals some weekdays, just need to get up maybe 45 mins earlier on those days. Oops sorry to go off target there I'll wine bout the work elsewhere.

    Back to the original the question I was trying to assertain if my workouts were

    a. balanced
    b. not overdoing it
