So confused!

Hello, I am 16, i weigh about 150lbs. I have no idea what my BF% is, but i'm just curious about things. Primarily: I hear on a regular basis that getting your body into a routine is bad, and that you want to always switch it up and never keep doing the same things. Does this mean that it's ok for me to one day tone muscles, and then the next time i workout those muscles do a building excercise? Also, this is my current workout schedule, and I would love some opinions/imput.

Monday- Bicep: 6-9 sets, Back: 6-9 sets (varying excercises)

Tuesday- 2.4mile jog, 1 set of 3 different ab workouts.

Wednesday - 3 sets bench, 3 sets inclined bench, 3 sets butterfly, afterwards i just pick 3-4 sets of any excercise for my tricep, usually varying from skullcrushers/dips.

Thurseday- repeat tuesday

Friday - Shoulders: 12-14 sets

Saturday - Repeat Thurseday.

Sunday - Rest.
As I'm sure you can tell my workout is very felxible so I don't get annoyed of having to stick to an exact routine, which is what I like. I just would love to know if this is ok, or if I am a complete moron, and should readjust my entire schedule. Thanks a bunch :D
 
You might want to throw in a lower body day, possibly with your shoulders. Go for 4 sets of squats, dead lifts, and top it off with 3 sets of lunges for starters.
 
Just a quick one,

What are you trying to achieve? Do you want the muscles to be sticking out and looking hot, or are you more concerned about power?

Just with friday, your 12-14 sets seems a bit strange. Did you mean reps?

As big angry hippo said, chuck some lower stuff in on the friday

Eg,

For mass and strengh.

Friday:
Shoulders: 8 reps, 4 sets with max comfortable weight. Try to do 2 different exercises to split up the sets. Eg. 8x2 Arnold press for the Anterior Delts and 8x2 Lat Raise for the Lateral Delts.

Legs: 8x2 Calf raises 8x2 lunges 4x2 Squats 4x2 Dead Lifts.

This should give you a nice balance and should not overwork your lower.

Cheers,

Steve.
 
the goal i'm truely trying to achieve, is probably what any guy would want. I'm not trying to get HUGE, but i want to get decent sized. I would like to be about 190lbs, and to be very cut. So basically to be cut, with decent power, but nothing too drastic. Thanks for the advice on the shoulder workouts, i was never too sure what i was doing with those. What would you reccomend for upper back workouts? I know I can do a few sets of Deadlifts for my lower back, but I'm not too sure about upper back. Thanks again for all the help guys :)
 
Monday- Bicep: 6-9 sets, Back: 6-9 sets (varying excercises)...hopefully your doing back first

Tuesday- 2.4mile jog, 1 set of 3 different ab workouts.

Wednesday - 3 sets bench, 3 sets inclined bench, 3 sets butterfly, afterwards i just pick 3-4 sets of any excercise for my tricep, usually varying from skullcrushers/dips.

Thurseday- repeat tuesday

Friday - Shoulders: 12-14 sets...maybe too many sets try 6 - 9 total sets

Saturday - Repeat Thurseday.

Sunday - Rest.


as suggested definately do some legs...i'd add some stiff leg deadlifts more so than lunges and do squats instead of deadlifts...maybe do rack pulls (top half deadlifts on back day)...for upper back do the same anmount of sets and reps as you do for chest with rows and pull ups/downs but more rows
