    My routine.

    I wanted to post my routine to see if anyone could give advice as to what I should maybe cut out, or add. I weigh in around 135 or so unclothed, and no shoes, and I am wanting to hit about 180-190 eventually. I stand 5'9" and my routine goes like this.

    Monday-Chest and Back

    Flat bench, Incline bench, and Decline bench

    Chins(one week front grip, next week reverse).

    T-bar rows, and seated cable pulls


    Tuesday-Legs

    Squats, leg presses



    Wednesday- Arms-Shoulders


    Preacher curls, standing barbell curls

    Military press, arnold presses, reverse bench flys


    Thursday- triceps

    Weighted dips, closecrip presses

    You're on the right track, but still missing some important things.

    I would incorporate deadlifts for back day, and some sort of hamstring exercise for leg say. Stiff-legged deadlifts and/or leg curls are great.

    Just remember to train hard and EAT. Good foods is what will get you to your goals.

    I suggest reading the stickies at the top of the forums. They helped me a lot when I was starting out, and I'm sure you would would benefit from reading them also.

    Good luck with everything man

    why do you have the same amount of exercises for your tri's as your legs? unless your doing 10x10 on the squats your undertraining your legs and why more work for you chest than your legs?

    leg day should be more like:

    squats
    sldl's
    lunges
    leg curls
    calf raise

    if you're gonna be hitting them 1x/week.

    First of all your 5' 9" at 135lbs. Your goal is 180-190. I would concentrate more on eating then anything. You need to eat man. Your routine doesn't look that good to me. Way to many exercises. You do not need all those exercises for arms. Stick to heavy basic movements in your routine. Example:
    Day 1: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
    Flat Bench
    Military Press
    Skull Crushers

    Day 2: Back, Biceps
    Deadlifts
    T-bar Rows
    Heavy Bar Curls (45 pound bar)

    Day 3: Legs
    Squats
    Leg Press
    Calf exercise
    Maybe some SLDL

    And EAT! Diet is 80% of it.
