    A good split

    I am trying to change my workout a little bit, and I have read one or two posts about splits, so I was wondering what would be a good split for the following exercises.

    TRICEPS
    Close Grip Bench Press (3x10)
    Skull Crushers (3x10)
    Dips (3x15)

    BICEPS
    Hammercurl (3x10)
    Close Grip Barbell Curl (3x10)
    Barbell Curl (3x10)
    Incline Hammercurl (3x10)

    LEGS
    Squats (3x10)
    Barbell Lunge (3x10)
    Romanian Deadlift (3x10)
    Barbell Squat Deadlift (3x10)

    BACK
    Pull-Ups (8,10,12,15,12,10, 8)
    Towel Grip Pull-Ups (3x10)

    CHEST
    Push Ups (3x15)
    Bench Press (4x10)
    Butterfly (4x10)
    Incline Bench Press (4x10)
    Decline Bench Press (4x10)

    SHOULDERS
    Shrugs (3x10)
    Rows (3x10)

    NECK
    Neck Flexion (3x20)
    Neck Extension (3x20)
    Neck Lateral Flexion (3x20)
    Wrestlers Bridge (3x1 Minute)

    FOREARMS
    Reverse Barbell Curl (3x10)
    Behind The Back Wrist Curl (3x10)

    BACK
    Pull-Ups (8,10,12,15,12,10, 8)
    Towel Grip Pull-Ups (3x10)

    My main goal is bulking, and some advice I was given was to build my frame by doing stuff like pull-ups and squats.


    BTW, the pull-ups are slightly assisted, I have a weight resistance bench thingy, where you set it up on different inclines, and it uses a % of your bodyweight, I have it on the top one, which I think uses 80% or so.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    one thing I noticed is you're going to use 4 different exercises for biceps, a tiny muscle group, and only two different exercises for back, one of the largest muscle groups?

    I could also use bent over lateral rows for my back.

    I was thinking basically having the spkit over either two or three days.

    I am just saying that your back is a huge muscle group and there are many other exercises that can be used.

    You are right, what I was thinking of doing is doing what I am doing now, which is doing pullups every day, having a break after three consecutive days or so.

    I am also gonna add some more exercises thought too.

    Tone down your biceps and chest and increase your back workout volume. Do deadlifts man, for the love of God! In particular, scratch the pushups. They aren't going to help you get bigger, only increase your endurance.
