I followed the website's Day 4 workout plan very accurately. Here is what it was actually suppose to be: http://www.exrx.net/Workouts/Workout4PPTS.html

The only thing i altered in my workout from the website was that I added a bit more ab workout, and that I switched Day 4 to Day 2 and made Day 2 become Day 3 and Day 3 become Day 4.

So it was like this to make it simpler:
Day 4 -> Day 2
Day 2->Day 3
Day 3-> Day 4
Day 1 -> stays same... Day 1!

I added some cardio to day 1 and 3 also! How do you guys like it? critique pls!!
 
That yellow thing, exclamation mark junk, yeah, that is seriously gonna be the death of me, stop with that for serious, there is no need for it - at all.

So you have too much here simply put, yeah we know you have endurance and all that, but it's not so good for your body, if you don't realize it now you will later on or years down the line.

Chest and tri day, always do the presses first, not the flys.

Shoulder day is way too much, stick with one press (shoulder or military) not behind the neck though. You don't need seventeen forms of raises either.

No need for the 4 types of curls in a row either, two or three max and youre good.

Leg day - that is gonna be extremely intense. Put the deadlifts after the squats too, youll be able to do more if you put the squats first, in my opinion. What kind of deadlifts are you talking about anyway? I don't think you need both the leg press and lunges if youre squats go well and you do enough (weight wise), I think you need more sets of squats too.

Ok so I put press first, then flys later on.

Why should I not do behind the neck press? I asked my teacher who works out wiht me at the gym about that and he said i shoudln't do behind the neck press either cuz it mgiht pop out the shoulders?? And I have only a few raises and i think you're right about some of them so i took out the dumbbell lateral raise.

As for the curls, 2 (barbell and dumbbell curls) are for bicep brachii and preacher is for brachiariwatever it is and hammer is for the forearm section the name too long for me to spell. So I think it's alrgiht for me to do all 4 of them...

and for legs.. I'm doing just normal deadlifts! Not any straight-legged, or straight back or some other cracker deadlift, just traditional deadlift! I took out the dumbbell lunges too i think you're right about that. How many more sets do you think i need? I put it down as 3 sets but u said i need more so i put it up to 4 sets. Do u think i shold go for 5??
 
Well you asked for my opinion, I'm telling you that you don't need 4 types of curls, take it or leave it. Overtrain all you want.

Anything behind the neck isn't as safe, yeah you hit your delts ok, but with a standard shoulder press, in front, you hit them better.

You have three forms of raises, db, db lateral, and gripless? You don't need three.

Five would be good for squats.

Wow if I did that many excercises I would be in the gym all day. Seriously, if I had your day 2, for example, as my workout I would be in the gym for around 3-4 hours for that one workout.

Why not just do 1-2 excercises for the muscle group you plan on working out for that day. Do them effectively and you shouldnt even be able to do anything else that involves that same muscle. Honestly, if I have proper form with an excercise, say military press, if i do them correctly for only 3 sets i cant do anything else with my shoulders.

Cut out a lot of excercises, sometimes less is more. Change up your routine every week. So you can still do all of those things, just not in one day.
 
Hammer curls have shown in some studies to work one head over the other, but you're never not working one. I myself have never done a hammer curl, ever. AJP said everything I would have..

General Rule of Thumb, do large compound movements before isolated movements. Ie, Bench before flyes, rows before curls.. Get it?
