    Critique workout please

    goal is mass gain, im on a bulking diet. I've tried to keep things pretty simple

    4 day split:
    day 1: chest/tri
    day 2: legs
    day 3: rest
    day 4: back/bi
    day 5: shoulders/forearms

    Set/Rep scheme is 3x4-6

    Day 1 chest/tri
    compound: incline db press, dips
    iso chest: DB flyes
    iso tri: CG benchpress, tricep kickbacks
    =15 sets
    Day 2 legs
    squats, leg press, seated leg curl, prone leg curl, calf raises on legpress machine
    =15 sets
    Day 4 back/bi
    compound: dead lift, pull ups
    iso back: bent-over row, CG pull downs
    iso bi: standing BB curl, incline DB curl
    =18 sets
    Day 5 shoulders/forearms
    iso shoulders: DB shrugs, standing DB shoulder press, lat raises
    iso forearms: DB hammer curls, db wrist curl, rev db wrist curl
    =18 sets

    What do you think? I'm still new to this so I'm sure i've made alot of mistakes, so please help me learn.

    Everything looks Ok to me except fora couple of small things: your day 4 routine...deadlifts primarily work your GLUTES and HAMSTRINGS a ton and you just worked them 2 days before that. I would throw the deadlifts into day two and drop the leg curls. For MASS building I would suggest incorporating at least one more set of dumbbells in your day one chest routine, either flat bench or decline. Your routine is fine on that day, but heavier weights (db presses) will help you build more mass, flys and dips (to an extent) are more for definition overall, I like it. Good luck.
