    My Workout Schedule

    I have been reading alot on here and decided to post my workouts to see what you guys think. I know it's definitely not the best workouts, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Chest & Abs
    Flat Bench 4 sets of 8
    Dumbbell Bench 3 sets of 10
    Dumbbell Flye 3 sets of 10

    Sit ups around a 100 or so
    Leg raises
    Crunches

    Biceps & Triceps
    Preacher curl 3 sets of 8
    Concentration curl 3 sets of 10
    Two hand standing preacher curl 3 sets of 6
    Tricep extensions 6 sets of 12. I do these throughout the workout not all at once.

    Shoulders & Back
    Sitting military press front of head 3 sets of 8
    One arm bent row 3 sets of 8
    Stiff legged dead lift 3 sets of 8
    Lateral raise 3 sets of 12
    I would like to add sitting military press behind head 3 sets of 8

    Legs
    Squat 4 sets of 8
    Leg Extensions 3 sets of 10
    Calf raises 3 sets of ten

    I realize that i am short on some of my workouts, but i don't know all that many and i am using a home gym. It's not the greatest but pretty fair. Thanks for any help.

    Ok i definitely give it a shot. I didn't know if i was working the right muscles together because alot that i see i.e. chest & triceps -shoulders & biceps etc. As far as home gym i have the powerhouse free weight one which includes 500lb of weights, squat, different benches, pull down, and leg attachment. I have a machine that i use sometimes as well. It's no where near as good as going to the gym but i would have to drive thirty miles each way.

    I would put the legs in the middle. Give your arms some rest. You are using them on all of your upper body days.

    I will guess you are trying to put on some size. If so, I would change your routine. You don't dedicate a day solely for arms. Look at these ways: Your arms won't grow unless the rest of your body grows. In fact it takes about 10-15 LBS of muscle all over to grow in inch in your arm. Also, you can't have 17" arms if you only weigh 150 LBS. Here are few different workout splits you could try:
    Mon: Chest/Shoulders/Tris
    Wed: Legs
    Fri: Back/ Bi
    Or
    Mon: Shoulders/Tris/Bis
    Tues: Legs
    Wed: Rest
    Thurs: Chest
    Fri: Back
    Sat/Sun Rest
    Or going into a simplified fullybody routine.

    Another suggestion. Here is a simple fullbody routine you can follow that with good nutrion, you can pack on some muscle. Do this either Mon/Wed/Fri or Tues/Thurs/Sat. Pick 3-5 exercises from this list: Deadlift (squat/Pull), Bench (push), Overheadpress (push), dips (push), row (pull), chins/pullups (pull). Pick a push movement or two, pull movement or two and either squat or deadlift. Do 5 sets of 5. Here is an example
    Mon:
    Squat 5x5
    Bench 5x5
    Rows 5x5
    Wed:
    Deadlift 5x5
    Dips 5x5
    chins 5x5
    Fri
    Squat 5x5
    Overhead press 5x5
    Chins 5x5

    17" arms at 150? That's pretty hard to believe unless you are around 5'. Just for a comparative sake I believe Steve Reeves had 18 1/2" arms and he weighed 215 LBS. Also Mike Tyson in his prime. His arms were 16" and yet he weighed 215-220.

    Does there have to be a day of rest in between each workout day. The reason i ask is because if i did the chest shoulder tris day i think that would push my workout of the time i would have since i get up and life before work. Thanks for the help.
