    My Training Split. Opinions Welcomed

    I would for you to take a look at my training routine and elaborate on it. Any critizism will be appreciated. Thanks

    Day 1 Chest & Abs
    Day 2 Quads & Calves + (25min low intensity cardio)
    Day 3 Rest
    Day 4 Back & Hamstrings +(25min low intensity cardio)
    Day 5 Shoulders, Traps & Abs
    Day 6 Biceps & Triceps + (25min low intensity cardio)
    Day 7 Rest

    Exercises

    Day 1
    Bench Press 4 sets
    Dumbell Incilne Press 4 sets
    Isolateral Decline Press 4 sets
    Flye 4 sets
    Crunch Machine 3 sets
    Abench 3 sets
    Leg raise 3 sets

    the next week I switch it up for the chest and do these

    Dumbell Bench Press 4 sets
    Incline Barbel Press 4 sets
    Decline Barbel Press 4 sets
    Cable Crossovers 4 sets

    I always go heavy in the first 2 sets with a rep range of 4-6, then lower the weight for the last 2 sets with a rep range of 8-12

    Day 2
    Squats 4 sets
    Leg Press 4 sets
    Leg Extension 4 sets
    Calves Raises 4 sets
    Cardio

    every once a while I throw some lunges in there with front squats and single leg extensions to switch it up if I'm bored

    Day 4
    Pull ups 4 sets
    Bent Over Barbel Row 4 sets
    Low Cable Row 4 sets
    Deadlifts 4 sets
    Leg Curls 4 sets
    Cardio

    the following week I would switch it up and do lat pulldowns, dumbell rows and iso low row

    Day 5
    Military Press 4 sets
    Lateral Raise 4 sets
    Rear Cable Raise 4 sets
    Dumbell Shrugs 4 sets
    Sit Ups 3 sets
    Cable Crunches 3 sets
    Reverse Crunch 3 sets

    the next week I'll do them with dumbells

    Day 6
    3 exercises 4 sets for biceps
    3 exercises 4 sets for triceps
    Cardio

    I like to switch it up constantly with my arms. There's only 2 or 3 exercises that I will ways perform.

    Thanks for taking the time to help me

    Split isnt bad but I would not do hams after back.

    Training volume is too high! Stay around 8-12 sets as opposed to 16.

    Thanks Ronnie, I'll bring it down to 12 setsby taking one from each exercise. Now why not hams after back?
