    all the exercises look fine for the muscles being worked. but if i were you, i would split up the muscles a couple more days cause that looks like a shitload of exercises on mondays and thursdays. if you're gonna work more than one muscle per day, i would have a split like this: monday-chest/tri's, tuesday-back/bi's, wednesday-legs/shoulders and you could repeat monday's and tuesday's workout again on thursday and fridays too. i really wouldn't do legs twice a week, jmo. and with your leg workout, i think you should add some leg curls or stiff legged deads to work your hams too. again, jmo. good luck.

    Recovery

    Thanks...I think I will do it like that then...do you think that is sufficient recovery time? If not I could probably do each body part one time per week...but if the recovery time seems right...then I would like to do bodyparts 2 time per week.

    Do whatever works, but give everything a chance. Don't constantly change your splits every week, give em a month or so before u change. I think most ppl generally respond very well to working out each bodypart only once per week, u just have to make sure your workouts are very intense.

    Here's my split

    Chest
    Back
    Legs
    Shoulders
    Arms
    Off
    Off

    im with mr trenton on this one, to me it seems your doing a butt load of excercises on each day except for legs and not only that your training them two times a week. In my opinion i think somewhere down the road your going to run into overtraining or a plateau where you will be doing yourself more harm then progress. but what do i know??? just try to bresk it up some, why so many pull down excercises??? do you not like skull crushers or close grip presses or what about bent over rows for your shoulders on back day???
