thrs
Bi,s. 3 sets 8 reps

reverse curls

fri.
Tri's

dumbell straight arm raises 8 reps 3 sets
dumbell straight arm side raises"slightly bent over" 8 reps 3 sets
up right rows 3 sets 8 reps.

I do change up the machines every other week. meaning I change up what equiptment i use. I never use the same station every week, unless I have too.

tell me what you think??

personally, i like it, one body part per. where's the squats? and i would prob add on more compound thing to triceps like weighted dips or close grip bench and lose the kickbacks... maybe trade in one of those grip preacher curls for the barbell curl or incline curl...just my opinion though,,like your scheme though.

BB,
Your routine is good, However i would make the following changes:

1. do not work bis the day after back as you will use bis in your back lifts and they need the next day off.

2. where are the squats and deadlifts? These two are the best leg exercises and the best for overall growth

3. you are not resting enough. even though you are working different muscles each day the muscle system as a whole is not being given enough rest.

4. this may be better:

Monday
Chest, tris

Tuesday
Back/bis

Wed
off

Thursday
Legs

Fri
Shouders,Misc. ie forearms etc

Sat/Sun.
OFF or cardio

Remember: Quality not Quanity

Take Care,
Captain Anabolic

with some variation........ that's the one i do.....

but i put a day between the bi and tri's



that way they have time to recover..

more rest is needed...imo...

but i do alot of heavy static training also..

2 weeks static
2 weeks regular..

I know what you mean.. but if you look at it, I wrote that i change it up every week. What I mean is the following week I will remove the kick backs and go to a close grip bench. And instead of hacks, I will do squats...ets. I never do the same excersise 2 weeks in a row. i always change it up. In other words i substitute.
