    looks fine to me mate, best advice i can give is to change things round as soon as you get used to them. throw is some drop sets or negs or different excercises from time to time.

    Too much tricep work...10 sets after chest is way too much. If you want to get big I would stay above the 5 rep mark, 6-12 reps are best for size.....and EAT!!!!

    ur profile says 21, anyway, like jason says u seems to have a too many sets in ur tricep workout, id say overall too, not just for triceps. im fan of dc training which is very low volume. but it wouldnt hurt to get rid of some sets

    are you saying you do all this twice in one session?? What are your goals? If it is BB then you are WAY over training.

    Staying lean is all about diet and cardio.

    I have to echo about the tricep routine. At your age, if your food intake is sufficient, I would think 6 sets would be enough. You have a wealth of natural testosterone in your body and you may as well get good use out of it.

    I alternate routines by week. For instance, with triceps on week 1:

    Rope Extensions: 12-12-12- Failure.
    Dips: Failure - Failure

    Week 2:

    Skull Crushers: 12-12-12-12
    Machine Extensions: Failure-Failure

    On week 3 I will go back and repeat week 1 or just keep going and alternating exercises. Whatever you're most comfortable with. I favor close grip bench presses but when training chest, you run the risk of overtraining the pecs trying to spike your triceps.

    Just my two cents on what works for me.
