    Mdd..my man...sounds like a good routine. I would just make a couple of modifications:

    Try to add another workout day in order to add more chest and legs and hit those parts on alternating weeks twice per week..

    Also, I didn't see any cardio in there....
    Cardio at least 2 x's per week for 35 minutes or 3 x's per week for 25 minutes....

    Chest: add some decline dumbbells and barbell
    Chest: Increase set to 3 and reps to 10-12

    Triceps: Add press downs..these will the tri's differently then the overhead extensions...also mix in seated Truckdrivers as well

    Legs: Add some seated leg extensions to hit the quads real hard
    Legs: Alternate workouts adding leg presses with the sissy squats

    Biceps: Increase reps to 12-15

    Abs: You can increase sets and reps at 3 x's per week or even cut down to 2 x's per week..with more sets and reps as well.

    I hope this is helpful...

    Looks pretty good, but i would add one more day in there and take some of the load off those heavy days. Also dont forget to rotate excercises for the "shock" factor. For example every couple weeks change the bicep workout and do hammer curls, and especailly concentration curls to get the peak of the bicep exposed. Triceps add tricep pulldowns and so on....keep it up bro!

    ok, heres what i came up with

    major changes: (1) took shoulders off of mondays workout and gave them their own day which was previously an off day. i felt the load on monday was
    too great and with chest and shoulders i'd burn out the front delts too quick, not to mention possible RTC probs

    (2) put an extra day inbetween the legs and back workout. i didnt like having these two only one day apart. i simply staggered the off days instead and having 2 off days in a row, and also included the new shoulder day in between

    (3) took out flat bench presses and replaced with decline. i only wanted one flat press movement

    (4) added cable curls to bicepts

    (5) added v-bar pushdowns to tris

    (6) changed machine laters to front DB raises on shoulder day
