Day Five(Legs)
-Leg Presses(Supersetted with Weighted Free Squats)
-Dumbbell Lunges
-Leg Extensions(Supersetted with Leg Curls)

Day Six(Abs)

By the way I understand people say you shouldnt overtrain and you need to give your body time to relax between going to the gym but I was thinking since I'm doing one body part a day then that body part is getting a rest since i'm doing a different body part the next day if you know what I mean.

Also can anyone help with telling me how many sets I should do for each exercise routine cause I'm not sure about that.
 
Hey serioussam, welcome to the forum!

The number of sets, reps, etc. and whether or not you should be doing a split really depends on your goals. So can you tell us what your goals are?
 
I'm more interested in how long you've been training already. Because the split you list is fairly advanced...not something a novice/newbie in the gym should try, mainly because its TOO specific and not enough volume and frequency.

A single body part split is something advanced trainees (several years of dedicated training completed already) will do. New trainees should go for a more full body workout approach, done up to 3 days per week.
 
yeah i have to completely agree with malkore, if you rush into that style of workout too early chances are you will end up injuring yourself, not to mention the fact that you havnt built up the resistance to handle such repetitive use of the same muscle group i.e. day one, two, three and four are all using one important muscle... triceps
four of the days of your workout will require the use of this same muscle which constitutes most of your arm and i guarantee one of two things will occur, you will either be so sore the morning of day two youl take a break before your next workout or youl push through it, which will lead to a torn tendon in the long run...
one other thing is.... "shrugs"? i wouldnt bother even thinking about doing these until your a competition body builder :p
if you are a beginner id definantly listen to malkores idea, full body workout 3 days a week with a rest day in between each day or else, if you feel you are advanced, start with the full body regardless before moving to the individual muscle group days or youl likely end up injured, simple as that

as for sets/reps??
depends on whether your goal is building/strength/cutting, different set/rep variation for each of these

strength 3x 3-4
building 3x 8-10
cutting 3x 15-18

Im really not trying to be rude here, but if your unsure of sets/reps and your about to begin a workout of this magnitute.... your probably not ready for it...

but honestly,
best of luck!!
