    Polishing my lifting routine:

    Thanks again to everyone who helped me with adding and tweaking various exercises for different muscle groups. Putting it all together I have my routine below. Anyone have any recommendations to the days or number of sets for each exercise ? (I'm still trying to practice good form and technique for the exercises I am doing so I want to avoid introducing new ones). Anyways, here it is:

    (Keep in mind rep range is between 6-8, ~45 seconds of brake time between sets ~2 mins in between exercises, and 2 warmup sets, one of which is an empty bar / lowest Dumbbell weight)

    Monday: Chest & Calves

    5 Sets Dumbbell Bench Press (Flat)
    4 Sets Incline Bench Press
    4 Sets Dumbbell Fly's
    3 Sets Pec Dec
    4 Sets Donkey Calf Raises
    4 Sets Lying Calf Raises


    Tuesday – Back + Abs + Obliques

    5 Sets Deadlifts (*Only 5 reps here per set*)
    4 Sets Pull-Ups
    4 Sets Seated Row
    4 Sets Widegrip Lat Pull Down
    3 Sets T-bar rows
    3 Sets oblique crunches
    3 Sets Incline Crunches (Angle is different from Friday)
    3 Sets Hanging Leg Raises

    Wednesday – Biceps + Triceps

    5 sets barbell curls
    5 sets hammer curls
    4 sets seated dumbbell extensions
    4 sets close grip bench press
    4 Sets Skullcrusher (**Superset with CG Bench)

    THURSDAY – Quads + Hams + Calfs

    5 Sets Squats
    5 Sets Leg Press
    5 Sets Leg Extension
    5 Sets Lying Hamstring Curls
    4 Sets Standing Calf Raises (12 Reps)


    Friday – Shoulders + Abs + Obliques

    4 Sets dumbbell shoulder press
    3 Sets Lateral Delt Raises
    3 Sets Rear Delt Raises
    3 sets Knee Ups
    3 Sets Incline Crunches (Different angle from Tuesday)
    2 sets oblique crunches

    Saturday : Rest

    Sunday : Rest


    Thoughts ? I want to make sure the days which I work each muscle group is accurate. I have Chest & Shoulders spread out which is key I was told but is everything in between alright?
