    do weighted dips. makes no sense to go from low reps in all the other exercises, to high reps just for dips. other than that, this isn't a good split imo. you're missing a bunch of great exercises - ESPECIALLY with your leg routine - and not giving enough to each muscle group (and even neglecting some). you're gonna have to add in another day or two so you can create a proper plan.

    I use a similar split, But to tweak it to my likeing I would hit delts on the push and pull day and have a day dedicated to Legs.

    For example, On your [Chest/Tri] day id have an Arnold press or/ Behind neck x3 and a side delt raise x3, or Military or/Seated Barbell press x3 with some kind of side delt movement x3..
    Rear delts on Pull day [Back/Bis]

    I say 3 sets because by the time I will have finished all the other pressing movements my delts have been hit pretty well.
    I would also add Shrugs in.

    Monday Chest and Tris. Tuesday Back and Bis. Wed off, Thursday Legs and Shoulders, Friday Chest and Tris and then next week on Monday you do what you did on Tuesday the last week and Repeat for the month.

    Each day starts with 5 min cyclin warm up and exercise specific warm of 15 reps
    Rest intervals between each set were 2-3 mins
    Increase weight after each set by 5%

    Monday

    Flat Bench 4 x 10 8 6 4
    Incline Dumbbell press 4 x 10 8 6 4
    Decline Bench 4 x 10 8 6 4
    Incline dumbbell flies 4 x 12 10 8 6
    Skull crushers 5 x 5 5 5 5 5
    dips 3xfailure

    Friday Same as Monday

    Week 2 Monday
    Do what you did on tuesday...

    Also after 1 month I will try to up the weight on all my lifts, Whatever I was pushing for 8 reps, I will start with as my first set and so on...it will look like this 4x 8 6 4 3..You get the Idea.

    This worked wonders for me in terms of strength and size also I was eating quiet alot so I had more strength in the gym.
