brand new to the board-question on workout routine

[K Dawg]

Alright guys, I can definitely say from reading message boards on this site compared to others and can say that you all are the most knowledgable, so i'm proud to be a part of the board. Anyway, i'm 5'9, and weighed in today at about 156...not the biggest guy, but i've put on about 25 lbs in the last year since i started lifting. I'm only 18, so im staying away from the juice for at least another few years. Anyway, just wanted some feedback on my workout routine from you all.

Day 1- Chest, triceps
Day 2-Off
Day 3-Biceps, back
Day 4-Shoulders
Day 5-Legs
Day 6-off

Then repeat...Any feedback is appreciated...Thanks, and glad to be a part of the board!

Devils d im with you bro . I was doing a similar routine as yours hme and getting poop gains. I went to a routine like the one above and got major gains .Turns out i was overtraining.
You need time to recover between days.

Thanks for the responses guys...i think im going to try the every other day routine that you suggested...
Day 1-chest, tris
day 2-off
day 3-bis, back
day 4-off
day 5-shoulders
day 6-off
day 7-legs

i definitely like a day to rest after chest...for some reason, my chest tends to get extra sore...i thought i might be overtraining but i dont think it would make sense at once every 6-7 days...who knows..

Welcome to the board brother !

I always put my back and legs as many days apart as I can because of the strain from deadlifts and squats on my lower back.

Mondays - legs (squats, SLDLs and claves)
Tuesdays - chest, tricepes & abs
Wednesday (cardio only)
Thursday - shoulders & abs
Friday - back & biceps (deadlift day)
Saturday - (cardio only)
Sunday - off, nothing, nada !
