This is my routine right now, let me know what you think. I realize there is nothing that is working on the lower half of my body (squats etc.), but thats because i have a problem with my knees which is keeping me from doing pretty much anything (but i am in the process of fixing that)

3x10 bench press
3x10 incline flyes
3x10 pushups
3xmax wide grip pull ups
3x10 iso-lateral row
3x10 dumbell press
3x10 preacher curls
3x10 tricep pulldowns
and then some ab work

tell me know what i can change/add/ subtract
thanks
 
I see 4 pushing exercises and only 2 back exercises. A good basic rule is to train more sets / reps / exercises on back then with pressing exercises. Back controls everything you do. So train it more.

before we can really critique it we need to know your goals. Weight loss,Hypertrophy(getting the big Gunz!),Pure strength, and so on?
 
Ok well if you want to me to be completley honest, today ive entered a state of confusion as to what I want to do. Ive been on a bulk for a while, and ive been progressing... not rapidly, but progressing. I'm 18, 5'7 and about 122. I realize that I'm on the thin side, and i like pretty much everything about my body, except for the damn love handles that have grown, and the layer of fat over the bottom of my abs ( upper abs are showing through). Should i continue to bulk or should i cut a little. If i start to cut it would only be to shed a pound or two, but since beach season is coming up i figured maybe i should do that. Anyway, the workout posted is what ive been doing on my bulk to get big, but i havent changed anything as of yet. I do realize if i go on a cut i should be doing heavier lifting with sets of 6-8 reps. This may confuse things a little, but thats the whole story. What should I do? If you need it i can post some pictures.
 
No need to cut if it is only a couple of pounds. If your nutrition is decent you will be better off continuing your bulk.

Better post your diet / eating habits, that will make a bigger difference (from an appearance standpoint) than anything else.

The train more back advice is sound regardless of your goals.
 
Ok so I have decided to cut that fat that i have left because it is annoying me. Here is my diet more or less.

Meal 1- 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1/2 scoop of protein powder

Meal 2- either turkey or tunafish sandwich and some fruit

Meal 3- Chicken breast with carrots or some vegetable of that sort

Meal 4- Whatever there is for dinner but usually a lean protein with salad

Meal 5- plain cottage cheese or with some pb

After workouts I have a whey protein shake with 1 scoop of powder ( i started another thread about the carbs in that shake so go post there if you can help me out on that)

This is a very rough outline, but ive been reading the forums alot and i know what i need to be eating for the most part. This is all i could think of now, but i do eat right from what i have seen. I try to keep carbs and protein in the morning and then fats and protein at night.

You can give me some suggestions on my diet, but what other ways should i train my back?
