    Wednesday - Shoulders
    Seated Bar Press Sets 3 Reps 6-8

    Shrugs Sets 4 Reps 6-8

    Friday - Back + Bi's
    Chins Sets 2 Reps As many as possible
    Deadlift Sets 3 Reps 4-10
    Lat pull down to chest Sets 2 Reps 6-8
    Lat pull down behind neck Sets 2 Reps 6-8

    Standing Barbell curls, strict form Sets 3 Reps 6-10

    Sunday - Legs
    Squats Sets 3 Reps 6-8

    Here is my opinion on workout, if you are to hit 10 for instance, just make sure it is what i call a "hard 10"; basically if you putting a ton of effort in completing these sets then you are going to grow, but if your hitting pre arranged numbers and you are not breathing heavy afterwards, then you going too light and may need to up the weight.

    Looks pretty good as far as a plan, after a few months you can try something different just to shock the body again, that is always a good thing

    I'd ditch the leg curls and use stiff legged dead lifts to hit the hams
