too much arms, not enough everything else, especially legs.
Even though you're going for size, won't hurt to do some cardio in there, for tone if anything.

I use www.freetrainers.com to plan out my routines. You just input what you want to acheive and they plan out something that works for you.

Hmm I already do 4-6 sets of squat/deadlifts (excluding warmup)
What else should I be doing for everything else?

Nah, winter's coming up I need my insulation fat :D
Cardio basically goes against weight gain, I'd be making better muscle gains without it then trim off the fat later (won't be hard for me, I have skinny genes)

Now I don't know what your body type is like and all. But I do know hardcore body builders do quite a bite of cardio too, however thats probably more to get ripped for shows. I still stand by my cardio comment, you don't want to be a huge muscle head who can't walk up 2 flights of stairs without getting winded!:D

like, your doing 1 back exercise 2 shoulder and one ab exercise on sunday. your not even going to be sweating. then on tuesday your doing 7 exercises that involve the tricep and 5 that involve the chest :dunno: , thursday your doing the entire lower body in one day, i personally hate that. and friday is the worst all the exercises involve arms except for one and some feebly back exercises.

Err I mentioned in my original post that the exercises after the space are optional, depending what I'm feeling like that day. All my workouts are 40-50 minutes, so obviously I don't have time or energy to each and every optional exercise listed.
Deadlifts pretty much take everything out of me, thats why I just about have them on their own day. I do some rotator cuff exercises on Sunday too but I decided not to include them because not everyone agrees on their usefulness (even though I think they should be part of any exercise routine)
And I'm not sure whats wrong with legs all on the same day, isnt that how you're supposed to do it? :dunno:
Anyways keep the criticisms coming, I haven't plateau'ed for a while and I intend on keeping it that way :D

40-50 mins is pretty short imo, im usually in the gym 1.5-2hrs every time i go. i think you should try considering the types of motions you are doing in your exercises to the types of muscles being exercised.
