You're all out of whack. You have multiple exercises for the same body part eg biceps. You have no balance in your workout.

1. Start with a split for the days;
2. Come up with a program that treats all body parts equally - this will be easier if you think in planes rather than actual body parts. eg. Push/pull and legs.
3. Come up with a rep range, rest period etc...
4. Read the stickies.

ok thanks for feedback, I'll work on a new plan

1. Front Pull Down this works biceps
2. Seated Row this works biceps
3. Pull Ups this works biceps

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...tPulldown.html
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/.../WtPullup.html

according to that those 3 exercises work the back....

Primarily the back. Biceps are secondary.

Harsh crowd on this one. What are you set and rep goals?

3 x 10 for pretty much everything. my ab workouts have more reps usually just do 3 sets to fail.

i dont have a lot of body fat anymore, its getting down. I am just trying to build a little muscle, not get too much bigger. I am 6ft 200 lbs right now.

Adamjs, what a worthless post. On his chest tri day you didnt mention bench doing tris and chest, than him doing his tricep routine, but you felt the need to mention his back biceps day. Your why don't people don't post because they get dumb responses. Im not commentating on the routine. I am just saying, the reason he is doing them both in the same day is so he doesn't hit it the next day and gives his muscles time to recover

^ It was an example. With the current information it is obvious he is overworking his biceps due to having three isolation exercises and three compound exercises that all work them. This also applies for others.
