Anyways new to this forum i am looking for a little advice on my training split/volume so thanks in advance for any help i get. I usea 5 day split this is how it looks currently:

close(nuetral grip) pulldown 4 sets
hyperextensions 4 sets
bent over rows 4 sets
Day 2 legs:

prone leg curls 4 sets
leg extensions 4 sets
seated calf raises 4 sets of 20
Day 3 rest
day 4 shoulders:
seated bent over laterals 4 sets
upright rows 4 sets
lying side laterals 4 sets
db shoulder press 4 sets
BB shrugs 4 sets
db shrugs 4 sets
day 5 arms:
tri pressdowns 4 sets

BB curls 4 sets
Db hammer curls 4 sets

Usually do abs and core workouts 4 times a week and light cardio 3 times a week.
Does this look like too much volume for some muscles or not enough and does it look well rounded to devolop overall mass and a balanced physique? Any suggestions you guys might haveare welcome and appreciated!! thanks.

are your 4 sets per tiered? like so
First set 12 reps 40lbs
second set 10 reps 45lbs
third set 8 reps 50lbs
fourth set 6 reps 55lbs
Any of these reps to failure and then dropset? I think your arms and chest workouts are too close together. I would give a cardio only or rest day in between.
As well how is your diet? do you have a breakdown with Macros?Last edited by jtuner77; 05-13-2011 at 08:29 AM.

Yes i usually pyramid,Drop the number of reps up the weight each set, I alwayds do my last set of each exercise to failure.should i be using dropsets on this last set? my diets not bad not super clean but decently clean i try to get 350/500/150 for macros(protein/carbs/fat) works out to about 4500-5000 cals.

I would recommend dropsets to failure. I was recommended it by Marcus3000 and it works like a charge to keep that pump look and help muscle growth. Also how often are you changing your work out routine?
I do not really know a ton about mass building diet but from what I can recall you seem to be a little bit over on the carbs/fat for mass building. can you post your actual diet?

I usually just change it up when i feel like i'm not making much progress any more. usually stick to same routine for at least 8 weeks so i can see some results from it. I will get back to you on my diet I am heading to the gym. By the way thanks for your help and i have read alot of marcus3000 posts as they are full of good info. This site if a treasure chest of goodness. I have been around other boards but my source told me to check out this one and it is awesome.
