Any other recommendations?

I can read it on a 17" monitor, as for the LINKED picture IE will resize it if it wont fit your resolution, expand it by holding your mouse in the lower right corner of the screen waiting for a box to popup, then click the box.

Chest - I would do db flys last
Shoulders - Tri's straight bar cable pulldown - is for the back
Back - 5 sets is not enough "unless" you are going balls to the wall
Squats - Leg extensions do at the end, 1/2 squat - no purpose in doing these, choose either bb or db lunges, alternate which one you do each leg day. hamstrings - I would also add a couple of sets of SLDL

Maybe I don't see it but what happened to the tricep workout.

Thats what I was thinking also. The routine was recommended in this months Flex magazine(UK) by Ernie Taylor. I'm looking at using it just tweaking it slightly.

Cold Iron

i would do this

Mon
-Chest
-Back

WED
-Legs
-shoulders
-traps

FRI
-bi
-tri


For back i would add another excercise, or a couple more sets. i also prefer doing deadlifts first, when my back is the strongest

for shoulders you should add some rear delt work, 2 sets

imo you could use another set or 2 for bi's and tri

legs, ditch half squat and trow another set on full squats instead and also do them first

I agree with LAM

2 more suggestions:

I'd drop one of the SHRUGS since you are doing DB and BB and replace it with an UPRIGHT ROW.

Also add in Dips or CG Bench Press on your Chest/Shoulder day to hit your Triceps more since you didn't break them into their own section....

Cold Iron

you still need something for rear delts and i would add some direct lower back work (hyperextensions or good mornings)

My suggestion is to just write down how you feel before and after every workout in your journal. Only you can decide what your doing right or wrong for YOU. Not to mention what your eatting for the kind of workout your doing. I don't agree with one answer for everyone on routines. No one can tell whether your a hard gainer or an easy gainer, believe it or not they respond to different types of training differently. Not to mention to what degree you are of those two. I had a old friend of mine the other day that I haven't seen in 2-3 years come up to me and told me how much bigger my traps and arms were, and asked me what are you doing for a workout, he wanted to try it out. I told him his best bet is to write everything you do and eat, from calories to weights to sets to time between sets, and even the date. He than asked why, I told him cause just cause I may get super gains from it doesn't mean you will, you need to test waters for yourself instead of asking everyone else what the water feels like. Other wise you will never know what your doing. Ever have a friend jump in a pool before you and say oh the waters warm or its fine, and than you jump in and your freezing, and you wonder why you even jumped in like that. It may have been fine to him, but to you it wasn't.

When I do legs I am too exhausted to do any shrugs or shoulders. I prefer to forearms and calves with legs.
