Reply With QuoteThe first thing i must say to you is: rearrange your split.
I would go, if I were you:
DAY 1: BACK/BICEP
DAY 2: CHEST/TRICEP
DAY 3: OFF
DAY 4: SHOULDERS
DAY 5: OFF
DAY 6: REPEAT CYCLE
This way, when training back for example, the ancilliary muscles for back movements is the biceps/brachiallis. Therefore, by working back and then working biceps, your pre-exhausting your biceps, which allows you to still work intensely but at lower poundages, whichin turn will allow for better form which will place more stress on your upper and lower insertions as well as allow your bicep bellies to become so pumped with blood they can't help but grow. Same applies with chest/triceps.
By the looks of your exercises, you need to increase the amount of basic compound movements, i.e. the exercises that everyone hates. This means barbell bench presses for chest, military presses for shoulders, barbell rows and deadlifts for back, barbell curls for biceps, close-grip bench presses for triceps. I like to go heavy with these, but also place them at the strat of your workout, as they are the exercises that require the most concentration (with the exception of deadlifts - do them last).
If you need any more help, I'll be more than happy.
Good day.

DAY 4: SHOULDERS
DAY 5: OFF
DAY 6: REPEAT CYCLE
I'd reccomend:
DAY 1: BACK/BICEP
DAY 2: CHEST/TRICEP
DAY 3: OFF
DAY 4: OFF
DAY 5: Delts
DAY 6: OFF
DAY 7: OFF
Also to your routine I'd change all those machine back exercises to the real thing, and do pull ups insted of lat pull downs.
And on shoulders add upright rows and front raises. And do shoulder presses (DB) insted of machine presses.

* stopping doing all of that machine work for back and shouldeers switch to free weight based exercisesI train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

im not very fond of doing back/bicep and chest/tricep...i do not feel as though i make the same gains as if i were to do them on different days..but i do love doing chest/bicep and back/tricep...feels like i get a better workout this way..but maybe ill give it a try again and see if it works better another time around.
