What do you guys think about this...

Chest/Biceps (Monday/Thursday)
-Incline DB 4 x 8-12
-Bench 3 x 8-12
-Incline Fly 3 x 8-12
-Chest Dips 3 x failure
-BB curls 3 x 8-12
-Preacher curls 3 x 8-12

Shoulders/Triceps(Tuesday/Friday)
-DB press 4 x 8-12
-Upright row 3 x 8-12
superset w/. lat raises 3 x 8-12
-Front Raise 3 x 8-12
-Rear Delt Raise 3 x 8-12
-Close Grip Bench 3 x 8-12
-Pushdowns 4 x 8-12
-Skull Crushers 3 x 8-12

Back w/. Leg Extensions(Wednesday/Saturday)
-Pulldowns 3 x 8-12
-Deadlift 4 x 8-12
-Bent Rows 3 x 8-12
-DB Rows 3 x 8-12
-Leg Extensions 3 x 8-12

As you can see, I am CLEARLY focusing this program on my upper body. Right now, I have more of an X-shape rather than a V, so I am decided to switch up my routine. I took out my leg day, however decided to keep leg extensions in with my back day since I feel deadlifts will still help retain my hamstrings and glutes. I love having that teardrop quad though.

I KNOW SOMEONE IS GOING TO COMMENT ON BEING A SISSY FOR SKIPPING LEGS. INSTEAD, JUST DON'T REPLY. Thank you!

Any routine without legs sucks. I'll just get that out of the way.

You're using the same secondary muscles and then isolating them, eg. Chest, then next day shoulders and triceps. So your shoulder and tricep workout is going to suffer from your triceps and shoulders being worked the day before.

You'd be better off doing something like chest/(triceps), back/biceps, shoulders/(triceps) rest, repeat. Putting triceps on either chest or shoulder day.

If it is working, keep at it. I personally can't train a body part twice a week, I am one body part a day once a week. My split goes like this.
Back
Chest
Legs
Rest
Shoulders
Arms
Rest
I am doing pyramids with heavy weight, during cut I do 5x15

I don't even know we're to begin... I've been seeing this everywere your first split your using secondary muscles like your triceps so you should Tae that into consideration your also using shoulders on dips. then you next day you going back and hiting shoulders harder triceps harder and chest secondarily then you non leg day so mostly upper body rest then right back to it again. if you don't rest you won't grow and I can only speak for myself I train 100 percent every damn workout and I wouldn't last one week doing it this way without being soar as f*** for every workout with this layout. I have yet to find a better work to rest ratio theb chest tricept shoulder then back and bicep theb a leg or leg extention day in your case and f it throw in some core while your there.

Bad routine!!!!!!! You should space chest and shoulders out 3 days apart say mon and Thursday. Do back on Tuesday with biceps. Train triceps either mon or Thursday or both. Your upper body will not respond better without legs and if you incorporate deadlifts you will be hitting your quads, hand, glutes, back and traps.

Hi could you give me a routine to do ive just read your threads and I go 5 days s week I just need to know what parts to do and wat rest days if possible s newbie at this gym goin 8 weeks now but don't really take s rest even a starter course thanks

Routine isn't the best IMHO,
what are your stats?
not doing legs is a big mistake, do you know what training legs does to the whole body?

[Nij]

Can someone reference me a decent routine? This one isn't cutting it, and I miss squatting, A LOT.

[Khazima]

Idk about bodybuilding program's, they're basically just all bro splits. When it comes to bodybuilding just take the basics and make them your own.

For example I'm cutting using more of a bodybuilding routine. Chest/back then legs, then shoulders/arms, rest, repeat. You could do the simple push/pull/legs or upper/lower/upper/rest/lower/upper/rest or upper/lower/rest.

I recommend reading Marcus' Diary. It is a lot to absorb at once, but the information is invaluable. Read through all of his theories and take what you will from it. You will not be disappointed. You might actually start sweating at your desk just reading some of his posts.

btw. why is that fruit cake your AVI?

Anyone who is 6 foot 5 and weighs 175 pounds should be cautious using the word fruitcake.
