    PS. I got back into lifting hard four months ago. Since then, I have only lost 5 lbs (all Fat) but, lost three inches in my waist, chest is up 1 inch and my legs and arms are more define. I just want to take it up a notch or two.

    Currently

    31 yrs old
    175 LBS
    34 Waist
    43 Chest
    15 1/2 Arms
    ? Legs

    Goal is to get to 195 by years end.
    Striving everyday to getting Bigger, Better, and Better Looking. The later is a struggle.

    Its not to bad, the only things I'd change is to drop the reverse flies on back day (mostly a shoulder movement)
    And if its more of a power week, change the Concentration curls for Preacher or BB curls.
    Cool

    SCB has got two good points. Also on your arms and shoulder day I would do shoulders before arms, so that I could lift as heavy as possible on the millitary press. But that's just me.

    Alright my input:

    I'd substitute Chin-ups (weighted or not) for one of your Hammer Rows and I'd drop the Leg Presses for Squats.

    And I'd swap the Wednesday and Friday workouts to give the arms long enough to recover for Monday's workout. Your arms workout may suffer.. but personally, I always give Chest and Back priority over arms. It may be different for you though.

    It does look good though. Congrats on the gains so far .

    Thanks for all your imput. I think that I will substitue Pullup for one of my rows. I just hate the pullup but it is one of the best exercises for back develpment. Thanks guys.
