Ok this is the schuedule that I have been following week after week. I was just wondering if this schuedule is right for me with my build etc.
I'm 17, weigh 144lbs, and am 11% body fat... I'm almost skinny but somehow i'm able to put on muscle pretty quickly... Ive been using this workout plan for a month and seen results... I'm just wondering if there is anything better...
Difficulty doesn't matter. I just wanna get swole.

Also, if you know any more effective excersizes (without dumbbells- I don't have those) than the ones listed above, please suggest them... Thanks!

I'd scrap a tricep exercise and do no more than 6 sets for tris. And as for biceps no more than 6 sets for that as well. Leg day looks ok, but I would cut out the leg extensions to start off (unless its a warmup with low weight).

comments on the whole split i see you are a beginner and u can benefit from working more muscles on the same day more .....i suggest doing upper lower or push pull legs instead but it's up to you it's fine....also you need some rest in between your workouts .....

Yes and No. C&P is a great one to do, and there's no reason why you couldn't combine it with other "shoulder" exercises. However, I think C&P should be done as part of a differently structured program than the ol' 4 day a week one.
