Hey guys. I just got a gym membership the other day and today was my first day in the gym. Here is my current routine (most of these i am doing 2 sets of 10 reps each):

A)
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Bench/Chest Press
Chins
Shoulder Press
Shrugs
Hammer Curl/Biceps
Tricep Extension
Lats
Calves
Abs

B)
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Bench/Chest Press
Dips
Rows
Lateral Raise
Shrugs
Hammer Curl/Biceps
Tricep Extension
Lats
Calves
Abs

What do you guys think? I do Workout A on day 1, day 3, and day 5 and workout B on day 2, day 4, and day 6. With one day of rest in between. Is there anything I can do to improve my workout?

STATS:
I am 5'5 ~120lbs. I start my workout by doing 15-20 min of cardio, and 45 min of cardio of off days. I eat a low-fat yogurt and a protein shake (1 scoop whey) before workout then oatmeal, and another shake (1 scoop) after. By the way; im working out first thing in the morning when i get up (from ~5-6am)

Thanks in advance!
 
both of those work many of the same muscle groups, so you should have one day between each day you workout, regardless if its A or B.

Also, thers too much work imo, ditch the leg curls and extensions, and focus on squats and deadlifts instead.
 
You never want to have it so you work the same muscle groups back to back on your days, like Karky said. What I do is most of my pulling type workouts, like curls, pullups/lat pulldowns, shrugs and delt raises on one day, that's back and biceps. Then I'll do chest and triceps every other day. I'll work in legs too.
 
A:
Deads
Flat Bench
Chins
Dips

B:
Squats
Incline Bench
Row
Dips

Would this be a good routine for me, considering im a newbie? Perhaps swap A/B days (A: mon, fri, wed [in 2 week pd] B: wed, mon, frid [2 week pd])? Then if i have a bit of energy left, do a set of iso's or something for my biceps and triceps and that sort of thing? OR should i just put all that into one workout and do that every other day, instead of alternating? People keep telling me different things, im just trying to find the most effective :p
