Lookin for advice!
Well, Ive decided to post my workouts here for you all in hopes that you can help me adjust it. Basically, Im tryin to bulk, i eat about 200g or so of protein a day, take Cell tech, and im 20 years old, weigh 170 and am 5'11''. I dont know how many calories a day i eat, and i eat about 5 times a day.
currently i do 4 sets per exercise; ususally with 10,8,6,6, reps.
Day 1 - Chest
bench press w/ bar (10,8,6,6)
incline w/ dumbbells (10,8,6,6)
decline flys (10,8,6,6)
weighted dips (10,10,10,10)
Day 2 - Shoulders and Back
Deadlifts (10,8,6,6)
Military Press w/ dumbbells (10,8,6,6)
T-bar rows (10,8,6,6)
Shrugs on Smith Machine (10,8,6,6)
Lat Pulldowns (10,8,6,6)
Day 3 - off
Day 4 - Legs
Squats (10,8,8,6)
Leg Press (10,8,8,6)
Calf raises w/smith machine + box to stand on (10,10,10)
Leg extensions (10,8,8,6) SUPER SET

Seated Calf raised (10,10,10)
Day 5 - Arms

Skull Crushers (10,8,6,6)
Curls w/ two cables (10,8,6,6)
Tricep pushdowns (10,8,6,6)
And thats it. I am wondering if you guys think i should add in another set or not. Also, my chest is really falling behind. I want to change my chest workout but am not sure how. And the same goes for my arms too :( Im also willing to add a day to my routine if needs be.
thank you

Too much volume in my opinion. You need to write down how many calories you eat and find your maintenance level then add 500 to that. As far as your workout goes, I wouldn't train shoulders the day after chest as your front delts get hit hard during chest. ou are working out your triceps 3 times a week which I think is too much, you aren't giving enough time for your muscles to grow. If you wanna get big you gotta lift heavy, in my opinion 4-6 rep range is ideal. Me personally, I do 8-10 sets of chest and back- 6 sets for biceps and triceps and shoulders, 12-14 sets for legs. Here is my split
Day 1:Chest/Bis
Day 2:Legs
Day 3:Rest
Day 4:Shoulders/Tris
Day 5:Back/Traps/Rear Delts
Day 6:Rest
Day 7:Rest or Repeat
I throw abs on leg and back days, about 4-6 sets staying in the 4-6 rep range.
