Saturday - Legs/8 sets for quads/6 sets for hamstrings
Sunday - Bicep and tricep/6-8 sets for biceps/6-8 sets for triceps
Monday - Off
Tuesday - Chest and abs/9-12 sets for chest
Wednesday - Back/10-12 sets for back
Thursday- OFF
Friday - Shoulders and calves/8-10 sets for shoulders and traps

Looks fine to me. Only thing I'd change is how you're doing calves the day before leg day, probably not a good idea. I'd do them on your back day.

 

[Robboe]

i'd suggest doing delts followed by tris and bis and having an extra day a week rest.

I don't agree that the volume you mentioned is really that excessive. 8 sets for quads is not huge, neither is 6 sets for biceps or triceps. If your recovering ability is basically nothing or you don't eat right, etc.. then sure, but otherwise the routine looks good.

 

[The mann]

the workout looks fine,your diet will dictate you adding mass since you say "bulking".

And if you're bulking the exercises should be mainly heavy compound ones, squat, deadlift, barbell burls, weighted dips, etc, ie, no amount of sets for legs will build shit if all you're doing is lunges and leg extensions

8 for thighs = fine.

8 for quads followed by 6 for hams = 14 sets total for thighs = too much IMO.

6 for biceps when he does 12 sets for back = too much IMO.

Damn, you guys on this board dont get one thing, when it comes to packing on strength and size.......basics rule!

Stick to:

squats 4 sets
deads 4 sets
barbell rows 4 sets
bench press 4 sets
dips 4 sets
dumbell press 4 sets
curls 4 sets
incline press 4 sets

cut the above in half(4 exercises per session) and do 3 times a week.

example:


workout 1:

squats
deads
barbell rows
curls

workout 2:

bench
incline bench
dips
dumbell press

On week 1, do workout 1 monday, rest tuesday, workout 2 wednesday, rest thursday, workout 1 again on friday, the weekends are rest time.

alternate the next week so you are doing workout 2 on the monday and so on.

Stick to this and i garantee results!!!!
Remember, complicated routines work for pros who have great genetics for this sport, take a truck load of drugs and have the time to eat perfect meals every 2 hours........for the rest of us it just does not work, train smart, stick to basics in diet and training and you should be pleased with what you see in that mirror.


GOOD LUCK BRO
