    IMO a bodybuilding program should include both compound and isolation exercises that target each and every muscle. Additionally the focus is more mind-muscle connection slow and controlled form. How much weight you put on the bar is irrelevant. Some BB like the volume approach others prefer intensity. Its largely individual and adjusting to how your body responds. Same goes with how much rest intervals you implement both during the exercise sets and also in between workouts. Those are the basic fundamentals. The structure and composition is up to you mate. -Cheers

    In bodybuilding the objective is not to lift as much weight as you can on a specific exercise, but to "damage" the targeted muscle as much as you can on.

    Now this "damage" that I mention above need to be a adequate for growth, example: if you run a marathon your legs will take quite a beating (belive me here) but marathon runners legs are skinny as fuck. Ok, so you need strength exercises, which are anaerobic, and to target different muscle fiber types than a runner. Pretty simple stuff, right? Wrong. It is not easy for a beginner to recruit all the fibers, our central nervous system (CNS) is not used to it.

    Marcus put together quite a nice explanation, much better than I can explain, read here: http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-l...ml#post7209074

    Now that you changed your mindset not to lift the weight, but to destroy the muscle, you need select the exercises and weekly split that best does this to your individual. Im not going to do it for you, try to make a split program and post it here, we can then critique it to try to make it better.

    The best article on muscular hypertrophy, IMO a must read by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD

    Try it for a few weeks and see how it works for you. There is no magic routine that works for everyone or forever. The human body does an excellent job of adapting to the stresses we throw at it. Keep researching and after a few weeks try something different.
    Everyone here has tried many different routines and set/rep schedules. You're going to have to experiment and see what you like and what works for you. Don't be afraid to try something different every so often.

    Seems you have understood the concept pretty good. Like 600 said above^^^, try it and see what works better for you.

    Think you forgot to add hamstring exercises.

    You say that your weak points are chest and shoulders, but your back day has lower reps and sets to failure, guessing back is a strong point?
