Review my workout please

[Shades McCool]

Hey everyone, I am new to the board and I know you all know a lot about working out. I was just wondering if you could review my current workout plan and give me some advice about it.

Right now I am 19 years old and 6' 200lbs 12%. I worked out year round since 6th grade while I was in high school(Baseball Basketball and Football), but I quit working out when I went off to school. I continued to play intramural sports though...so I was still active. When I decided to get back into working out I was probably 6' 185lbs.I have been working out solidly(6 days a week) for about 2 and half months now. When I started off working out I was at 15% bodyfat, I am now 12.2% body fat. Here is my workout:

Chest Shoulder and Tricep Day(Order Specific):
-Bench Press (3x3,3x5,5-3-1,10-8-6) rotates weekly
-Flat Bench Dumbell Press 10-8-6 or failure
-Incline Press 10-8-6 or failure
-Peck deck 10-8-6 or failure
-Shoulder Raises 10-10-10
-Rear Delts (Pec Deck Backwards) 10-10-10
-Tricep Extension 10-8-6 or failure
-Kickbacks 10-8-6 or failure

Back and Bicep day(Order Specific):
-Pull Downs (Regular Grip and Close Reverse Grip rotates weekly) 12-10-8 or failure
-Deadlifts: 10-8-6 or failure
-T-Bar Row:10-8-6 or failure
-Straight Bar Curls:10-8-6 or failure
-Preacher Curls:10-8-6 or failure
-Dumbell Curls:10-8-6 or failure with a drop set

Legs Day(Order Specific):
-Squats(3x3,3x5,5-3-1,10-8-6) rotates weekly
-Leg Press 10-8-6 or failure
-Hamstring Curls 10-8-6 or failure
-Leg Extensions 10-8-6 or failure with a drop set
-Calves

I also do 45 minutes of cardio everyday except the legs days.

With this workout I have gone up 15lbs and my strength is really shooting up. My body fat also went down from 15% to 12% and I can tell it keeps going down. My abs have never looked better(six pack) and I keep gaining weight. The only thing I am on is protien and I am only taking about 100g a day. Is there anything wrong with the workout itself? I would love any feedback you can give me.

I think your triceps may be getting rather overworked on that chest/shoulder/tricep day... You might think about changing your split...

YUM

 

[pushing_fe]

I think that you are overtraining. You don't need to work out each muscle group 2x a week. I would seperate shoulders and traps and do them on there own day. That would give you four days a week working out.

Mon - Chest/Tris
Tue - Back/ Bis
Wed - Off
Thur - Legs
Fri - Delts/Traps

You can do as much cardio as you need based on what goals you are trying to reach. I usually do abs after my workout on Tue and Fri.

Then again, if you have gained 15 lbs. in 2 1/2 months naturally maybe I need to start doing your workout

Thanks, I have been surprised with my gains myself. When I am taking my protien it just feels like my strength explodes. Its funny, I keep trimming my body fat yet my weight keeps going up. I am also getting much much stronger on all my lifts.

Anyone else got anything?

well I cant say this is an overall philosophy, but I dont believe in what you are doing, first your working your chest and triceps together and your back and bi's together.......think about it, dont you think that you would be working more efficiently by working the chest and biceps together, and back and triceps together. you want to work fully on a whole scale and that workout your doing aint doin that............you need one whole day to work arms alone and your not doing that. And you are just doing minimal shit for arms cause your doing the major muscle with more emphasis..................bro if your gonna get rocked up period you need to be doing 20 sets with 7-8 exercises, your only doing 2 for the tricep, and its so pumped from doing chest and shoulders its not even gettin worked, thats why you switch to chest and biceps, cause you need to work the opposite muscle of the tricep since its being used in all the major movements. Same with your back, your biceps arent even gettin work cause you have already tired them out, and only 3 exercises.........bro thats sorry.

mon- chest, biceps, abs calves
tue-back, triceps,
wed-legs abs
thu-shoulders
fri-triceps biceps calves abs

 

[Shades McCool]

Well what exercises would you suggest doing? I didn't know what I was doing was so bad. It seems to be doing me pretty good. Please help me out man.

Thanks Shades

hey everyones different, so if what your doing is working for you,then stick with it, but think about what i said, how much bigger do you think you pump would be if you did a slammin set of chest like bench presses then hit some curls, your pumping up the whole arm, but you know my philosophy is chest and biceps, back and triceps......if your pushin you doing the tricep, so you wanna hit the opposite muscle, if your doing back and tris, your pulling pumping the biceps turn around and pump the tricep.
If I posted my workout it would take up two pages, but just experiment in the gym, you usually want to start biceps on your third section of exercises, so you have probably would have already done bench press and incline press.........
