    Workout #1 Tuesday - Back
    Lat Pulldowns 12-15 reps, 4 sets do pull ups...4 sets is good, keep the rep range lower, 10, 8, 8, 6 use weight if necessary
    Stright Arm Pulldowns Standing 12 reps, 4 sets cut these out completely, switch to straight bar rows
    Seated Pulley Rows - 12 reps, 4 sets pointless, if you wish to do more i suggest t-bar rows
    Single Arm Dumbell Rows 8 Reps, 4 sets cut these out completely as well...you have no dead lift...do 4 seat of dl (10, 8, 8, 6)
    Abs - 12 - 20 reps, 4 sets (thats fine, whatever)

    Workout #2 Wednesday - Shoulders
    Standing Dumbell Press 8-10 reps, 4 sets from my personal experience from injury i suggest barbell overhead press, i personally prefer sitting rather than standing
    Lateral Raises 8-10 reps, 4 sets good deal
    Wide Grip Upright Rows 8-10 reps, 4 sets i dont see a point to these being you are already working your front delts with over head presses
    Seated Bent Over Lateral Raises 8-10 reps, 4 sets youre already doing lateral raises, why more? i would suggest replacing these with reverse flies, working your rear delts
    Shruges 15 reps, 4 sets looks good
    Calf Raises 15 reps, 5 setssave these for leg day

    Workout #3 Thursday - Biceps/Triceps
    Bicep Barbell Curls 8-10 reps, 4 sets supinating curls work wonders
    Preacher Cable Curl 8 reps, 4 sets screw the cables, use dumb bells
    Standing Dumbell Curl 8 reps, 4 sets youre already doing dumbell curls as stated above, switch these with standing straight bar curls but i would do these before your preachers
    Tricep Cable Pushdowns 12 reps, 4 sets not bad, but not for your first set, do some skull crushers
    Standing Cable Extensions 12 reps, 4 sets DIPS!!!!
    One Arm Kickbacks w/ Dumbell (bent over) 10 reps, 4 sets completly pointless...fvck kickback...try some french presses
    Standing Barbell Extensions 12 reps, 4 sets blah...no good...skull curshers, dips, and french's is plenty
    Abs 12-20 reps, 4 sets i wouldnt work abs trwo days in a row

    Workout #4 Saturday - Chest
    Flat Bench Dumbell Press 8-12 reps, 4 sets i would suggest straight bar rather than dumbell to avoid injury
    Incline Dumbell Press 8 reps, 4 sets
    Dumbell Flys (flat or incline) 8 reps, 4 sets careful with these, if you go too far back in your ROM you will injur yoursel
    Dips 10 reps, 4 sets elbows out, legs bent, lean forward
    Abs- 12-20 reps, 4 sets

    Workout #5 Sunday - Legs
    Calf Raises 15-20 reps, 5 sets you shouldnt start with these, end with them
    Leg Curls 15 reps, 4 sets leg extensions/hammy curls are a good warm up, do 15-20 reps do get your legs warm
    Leg Extensions 12 reps, 4 sets ^^^^^
    Leg Press or Squats 12 reps, 4 sets
    Hack Squats or Lunges 10 reps, 4 sets redundant...if youre looking for more, try leg press or lunges
    Abs 12-20 reps, 4 sets thats fine, whatever, but i wouldnt work abs more than twice a week

    Thanks Guys

    I think GunToting has you pointed in the right direction...I'd do abs twice a week and monitor progress. I would also decide on a rep range for your exercises that is more common...some are 8-10 others are 10-12 and then you have 15 reps on a few things? I'd go 8-10 on everything and then when you want a chnage of pace do the 12 - 15 for pumping. Drop to 6-8 when ready to try heavier weight workouts to shock your body.
    My results have been decent by changing about every six weeks.
