Just wanted to let you guys see my new routine for the upcoming school year. I start next thursday, so i won't be starting this routine til the monday after. So here goes:

(all exercises are going to be 5x5, and in the order they're written)

Monday:
1)Chest - Bench Press, dips, cable flyes
2) Triceps - Tricep pull downs, close-grip bench

Tuesday:
1)Back - Lat Pull Downs, Bent over barbell rows, bent over dumbbell rows, deadlifts, hyperextensions
2)Biceps - Standing alternating dumbbell curls, hammer curls

Wednesday:
1) Legs - Squats, Leg curls, leg extensions, standing calf raises (pretty much every leg exercise that's at my gym)

Thursday:
1)Shoulders - Front lateral raises, side lateral raises, Shoulder press, rear lateral raises, shrugs
2)Abs & obliques - weighted hanging leg raises, weighted sidebends, weighted decline crunches

Then either friday off, saturday cardio, sunday off, or i'll just start over again on saturday. What do you guys think?
 
What is the weight increase per set on the 5x5 plan? I've never used it before
 
I would swap your triceps and biceps days round, so train your chest and biceps on the same day and back and triceps on the other day. When you train your chest, nearly every excersize involves pushing so you will be indirectly training your triceps aswel as your pecs. The same goes for your back and biceps as most back excersizes involve pulling and therefore are an indirect movement for your biceps.

If you change them round then you will not only be able to perform better when you train but you will reduce the chances of injury through over training too.

Also with your cardio try and do a little bit every day or every other day, as oppose to one day a week, you will keep your metabolism going this way and keep the fat burning. Make sure you do your weights first before your cardio if you op to do this too.
 
Do deadlifts and shoulder press first. You also have a lot of arm work, i wouldn't do that much personally. Doing all 5x5's is an intense workout i would probably just stick with the compound excerises for that rep scheme and do less volume on iso excersises.

You should also take a day off after 2 days. IE workout Mon, Tues, Thrus, Fri

Looking it over dude that's way to much volume. It would take me 90min to do the most of them workout. Try to kept your sessions around 45min.

Drop the front raises, do incline bench few more suggestions.
 
so if i do chest annd biceps together, along with back and triceps together, not back to back, like every other day, giving biceps and triceps and direct day and indirect day, will that most likely give me better results?
 
Workout 3 to 5 times a week. With 45min workouts. Direct arm work is ok but make sure it's after your back and chest days.
 
Ok i decided to do chest with biceps on monday, along with abs and obliques, and back with triceps along with shoulders. And i'm gonna give my legs their own day. I'll probably go chest bis abs one day, legs next day, back tris and shoulders next day, then day off, then start over again. Sound good?
