alright well ive been doing this routine for about a month now. ive never worked out before this. so im not sure if this routine is any good or not. i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

resting 30 - 45 seconds between sets

flat bench
1 x 5 at 105lbs
1 x 4 at 110lbs
1 x 3 at 115lbs
1 x 3 at 120lbs
1 x 3 at 125lbs

hyperextensions
3 x 15 holding 25lbs

flat bench
3 x 8 at 105lbs

t-bar rowing
3 x 10 at 45lbs

preacher curls
3 x 5 at 55lbs

tricep cable pulldowns
1 x 10 at 70lbs
2 x 8 at 80lbs

preacher curls
3 x 10 at 45lbs

tricep dips until failure (not many)
 
so, nothing for legs?
also, tricep cable pulldown? triceps are a pushing muscle, so no pulling exercise is going to work them. do you mean cable pressdowns?

I'd add some pullups or at least a slightly wider than shoulder width lat pulldowns.

I don't see much rhyme or reason to the routine as a whole though.
 
alright id like to split my upperbody in to two days. this would be day one. im just not sure how many reps and sets to do for each. im 5'10 and about 155lbs. id like to bulk up. so im assuming more weight at less reps is best? any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

chest
flatbench
decline bench
incline bench

shoulders
military press
lateral raises

triceps
skull crushers
dips
 
Go slow and controlled, remember to keep good form. Just reminders, lol, I don't really want to tell you what to do and get you in a hole.
 
yes, heavy weights, and 6 reps is where I'd start for gaining size and strength. probably 3 sets of 6.

I wouldn't do 3 bench presses in the same routine though. do two, maybe one with dumbbells and the other with a barbell, and then some sort of flyes at the end or beginning, flat, inclined or decline.

I'd also trade skullcrushers for close grip bench occasionally, just to hit them differently. And unless you mean bench dips, your chest may be too fatigue'd to do normal wide grip dips, so you may need to swap in tricep pressdowns if that happens. Just kinda go with how you feel.
