alrite so what do you think about this new routiine good or bad? and will it help me achieve my goal to get bigger muscles become toned and lean well let me know what you think
If the "x3" = 3 sets then you are doing way too much volume.
How long are you in the gym?
Check out Cowpimps suggestions for split routines in my signature. He has some good templates focusing on a variety of compound movements followed by accessory stuff that should get you in an out of the gym in about an hour.
Dude you're doing 35 sets in one day which is more than double too many unless you're training with paper weights. You're training triceps on monday and tues? Bad idea. In general, in my opinion this looks all too complicated.
You say your goal is to get bigger muscles and become toned and lean. Unless you're in the anabolics section of this forum this goal is somewhat unrealistic. You should focus on one thing at a time in my opinion. If you're trying to get bigger muscles focus on just that and get the words "lean" out of your head for now. You can worry about cutting later. If on the other hand you're trying to get toned it will be very difficult for you to do so while increasing muscle size significantly. During cutting at best you're doing muscle size maintenance.
well im already pretty big i weigh 165 5'9 and how am i doing triceps on monday and tuesday im doing chest and triceps monday tuesday biceps and back but your rite maybe i should rest tuesday then do biceps and back wednesday. an is once a week good enough or twice a week an exactly what do you recommend i do then if this is to many sets
I just hit a plateau on this program but since starting it 8 weeks ago my weight went up from 200 to 210, gained nearly an inch in my arms and strength improved significantly. I would recommend it. I found it to be very good for building muscle mass. How lean you look will depend on how you diet, not so much on how you train.
Day 1: Upper Body
Bench press (flat bench) - 2 sets, 6-12 reps/set Bench press (incline) - 2 sets, 6-12 reps/set Wide grip pull-ups (sometimes close grip I alternate)-3 sets, 6-10 reps/set Barbell rows - 4 sets, 6-12 reps/set Dips - 4 sets, 6-12 reps/set *If I have energy at the end of the workout sometimes I do a quick two heavy sets of barbell curls. For chest I alternate where one day I will use barbell and next day dumbbells.
Day 2: REST
Day 3: Lower Body/ Shoulders
Squats - 4 sets, 8-15 reps/set Deadlifts - 2 sets, 6-12 reps/set Shoulder press - 3 sets, 6-12 reps/set Power cleans - 1 set, 6-8 reps/set *Every second "lower body / shoulder" workout day I will alternate where one day I will do 4 sets heavy squats and 2 lighters sets of dead lifts and the next lower body day I will do 4 heavy sets of deads and 2 lighter sets of squats.
