Well, I personally would do pecs, and back all in the same session.

Same with biceps and triceps.

Legs and shoulders you could do in the same. Yeah, I think you should switch to the way I stated. :D

It should work ok. Keep rest 2min or less.
 
The split looks ok, but you don't have anything targeting the hamstrings, and squats alone aren't enough of a lower back workout IMO. I would add deadlifts to your back day, and some hammer curls as well.

make sure you're eating enough food for growth. around 500 calories over maintenance, and a lot of those should be carb calories. Carbs help stimulate growth, and as long as you have at least 1g of protein per pound of lean mass every day, you'll have enough protein to facilitate the growth.
Don't skimp on fat either. Fat helps the body produce testosterone, and saturated fat is actually quite anabolic...so whole eggs for breakfast is an excellent choice.
 
i cant do deadlifts. i try to do them and i hurt my lower back. i did them for about 6 months. but i realized i was doing them all wrong. what can i do for my hamstrings? i work out at home..
 
I would advise getting your deadlift form down before attempting the good mornings. If your form sucks, practice with the bar until you ahve it down and then slowly add weight.
 
Training each body part once a week is ok for a beginner, or for a maintenance workout. You will grow if you are a beginner, but it will be slow, and you will plateau quickly. Aim for 2-3x a week for every muscle group if you want to grow.

Soooo...nearly 250 repetitions just for the chest? You wouldn't need to add any tricep movement after that insanity. I see huge indescrencies between chest, back, and legs. And why in the world would anyone want to do that many abdominal movements?
 
sit ups are almost useless for abs anyways, its more of a hip flexor move.

leg curls for hamstrings, or stiff legg deadlifts if you have no leg curl machine access.
learn good deadlift form, strengthen your back, and squats will come easy.
