Horrible routine IMO. You will begin to over train in no time and probly get injured. You simply dont have to train that often, it isnt necessary.

Break your whole body up into 3 workouts chest+triceps+front delts / lats+traps+biceps / quads+hams+calves+abs.

Then do each WO once every other day. For starters.

After you do that for about 8-10 weeks, switch it up and maybe do something else to keep switching it up. Maybe:
mon:10x10 bench press+straight bar curl
wed:10X10 Squat+calve raises
fri:10X10 barbell row+skullcrushers

Then keep switching it up and maybe go back to the first routine when you have done 2 other routines if you like, and see how you have progressed.

I love starting the week off with legs. Don't know why, but I always feel better, and seem to grow more when I train like that.

I just started that actually sorta by accident. See how it goes..

it doesnt look like ill be overtraining, the muscle groups get 5 days rest and when im on a cycle i recover really fast, like the muscle will be sore for 1 day at the most

Your muscles arent the only thing being taxed when you train.

Your CNS is going to be hammered 5x a week also, that IMO, is not a good idea.

Are you open to advise or do you merely want someone to confirm what you have listed is the perfect routine ?

similar to what i do

1 - chest, calves
2 - back, forearms
3 - delts, abs
4 - off
5 - quads, hams, calves
6 - tri's, bi's, forearms
7 - off

if you do start dragging just throw a few more off days in there. its very hard for me to train only every other day, and plus i got to where i am now by training 5-6 days a week. you do need to be very aware of overtraining because it can destroy your gains, but as long as you feel good and have plenty of energy you are not overtraining.
