    thanks alot

    Looks good to me, but I've never been a fan of doing arms on their own...I usually only do between 2-3 exercises for biceps and triceps and I prefer to do chest/biceps and delts/tri's...I do the Dorian Yates routine, 4 day split, 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, one day off.

    I just dont think its worth while travelling all the way to the gym and just training arms on their own.

    Also I usually train calves 2-3 days a week too.

    EDIT: Your missing two of the best exercises, squats & deadlifts, you should defo be doing them if you want the best results.

    okay cheers
    sounds dumb but i quite like the look of being more of an upper body person, obv i dont want skinny legs but their the part im least interested in training as my transport is my legs too. do you think i should up it to 4 sets instead of 3 ??
    thanks
