Exactly...
Do 3-4 exercises for lats....and finish your workout with 1 exercise for biceps...maybe 4 sets.

my workout goes like this, mondays and thrusdays 4 biceps exercices and 4 chest, doing 4 sets for each and from 6-10 reps, then tuesdays and fridays I do triceps and work on my back(also 4 sets-4 exercices and 6-10 reps), and Wendsdays and Saturdays legs, abs, arms, and that muscle next to ur neck.

what r lats, and what 3 exercices should I do, what do u think about my qork out, am I doing unnecessary exercices? If so waht should I be doing instead?

So 16 sets of isolation exercises for biceps on Monday and Thursday, plus 16 sets of isolation exercises for triceps on Tuesdays and Fridays

My God man...................you need to read in the training section for a month or two before you post. That workout is beyond awful!!!

hahahahaha.....it can't be that bad?

Your back muscle.................Do Barbell or Dumbbell rows 4 sets
Lat pull downs/ups 3 sets, Close grip pull downs/ups 3 sets.
Then 4 sets of biceps to end it....

Total sets for lats: 10
Total sets for biceps:4......but they get worked also in the 10 sets of lats

is there a way to see these exercices in pics so I can see what they look like, i'm kinda lost

Exrx.net - take a look around.

Surely you jest. You don't need a routine for biceps. They'll get big and strong through compound movements (pull ups, rows, etc). Work your legs and back - they're the most powerful and IMO the most important things to work. Everything else will grow if those do. Work your entire body and it will thank you.

ok so what you're saying is I should just work on Back, and legs, and everything else will just grow. What If i decide to work on bak and legs and throw a little bicep and chest in there too?

Read it again...............I put days in for you.
Do each once a week for now for the next 3 months......in 3 months or so you can change it around if you like.

Do abbs 2 times a week whenever you like.
Forget the small muscles for now......this workout will still hit all of them anyway.

wow thanks a lot man, to think i was doing all that extra work. And if I throw let's say a few sets of bicep and chest in there throughout the week you think it will be useless?
