Dude, you are trying to do too much. Especially lots of duplicate movements. What happens when something stops working? What are you going to change to??

Like, for example, don't do barbell presss AND dumbbell press in the same workout. Use one until you stop seeing gains, then switch to the other one. That way, when you body adapts to your current program, you have room to change it up and keep the body growing.

I know its temping to try and get ever angle and every fiber with every workout, but you're just gonna burn out [IMO] even with only 2 sets per exercise.

I agree. That is probably too much on chest day. I don't like that you have 2 side laterals on delt day. I think you should omit 1 of the back exercises on that day to.

right, i know i'm gonna have to tweak some things.... its just a interesting split that caught my eye and i thought about giving a shot at


keep em comming,


thanks all

 

[amuro]

your overdoing it with that routine...take some thigns out and consider the fact that u might end up over training or hurting urself trying to push yourself to hard

 

[Deepsquat]

check out the post at the top of the page DC TRAINING METHOD...you will learn a lot ....too many exercises per bodypart ..choose 2-3 for 2-3 sets each ...the split itself is good ,,,just poor exercise selection

I would not only read the DC sticky like Deepsquat is requesting but I would read into body building, and powerlifting as well. Find out which one suites your needs.
It sounds as though you do not know still. Test everything out until you find something that works. Then, stick with it. When it fails, it's time for trial and error again.
Keep your mind open to new challenges

Chest looks fine.

I'd ditch the machine side laterals for shoulders. Go a little heavier on the remaining excercises.

Leg day looks good.

Back: I'd ditch one or two of your rows. Barbell rows and seated rows, for example, are redundant. You'd be better off doing one at a higher weight.

Rest looks good to me man.

 

[louden_swain]

Why so much?? A lot of these movements are redundant.
