Monday - I work out Biceps, Triceps - Chest, And Abs
Biceps - in total 5 sets standing 25 lbs dumbells
Triceps - 2 sets - Overhead 20 Lbs, 4 sets 15lbs( i used to only work out the overhead triceps resulting in this part of the triceps being weak! but there getting there now)- Where you kinda lean over knee on the bench lift the dbell behind you
Chest - Decline - 3 sets of 110Lbs
Chest - Incline - 3 Sets of 110 Lbs
Chest - FlatBench - 3 Sets Of 130
Abs - 1 Set of Each for weight days - Vertical Leg Raise, Cross Leg (Oblique) Crunches,
And Regular Crunches

Then on the Next day i work Out my Abs/Legs More Directly
Abs - 3 Sets Of Vertical Leg Raise - Obliques - Regular Crunches
And i do about 60 in each Set of Each Area - so 60 leg raise - 60 reg - 60 oblique = 1 set
In the Same workout i do Squats and Calf Raises, 3 Sets of Squats and 3 Sets of Calf Raises, 50 of the calf raises and 30 of the squats in each set no weight added yet

Right now im really focoused on trying to develop my abs it takes alot of work, but anyways id like some feedback on how im doing, Oh and also, like i said my workout is everyday, i go weight training+abs 1 day, then focous on abs/legs the next day, BTW im around 6'2-6'3 and i weight on average about 175 now, When i first started Working out i weighed 195-200, I've lost alot of fat, but i want to gain more muscle mass now, i feel that i got a good amount of muscle mass so far, and i love working out its part of my life and its somthing that is just a part of my life now, so any advice would be appreciated thanks.

When do you work your Back? I think you are doing to much for ab's. They need time off like any other muscle. Ab's are mostly made in the kitchen anyway.

Stickies.

honestly i never work out my back, i dont even know how i would without some kind of gym equipment, i have my bench and dumbbells, and my bench is pretty nice incline decline flat and has leg extensions, but is back even that important and how would i even start working it out

You could do bent over rows, deadlifts, chin ups, etc. there's plenty of different exercises for the back.

Back is just as important as everything else to workout.

And if you have dumbells there are plenty of exercises you can do. I use dumbells and barbell exclusively over any other gym equipment, for everything.

If you get a chin up bar (which cost very little) you could do:

Bent Over Rows
Bench Rows
Lying Rows
Pull Ups
Chin Ups
Romanian Deadlifts
Stff Leg Deadlifts
Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts

Which is a good selection of back exercises.

Also, why have you got no hamstring/hip dominant work?

Things like Deadlift variations, Good Mornings, Glute Ham Raises, Hyperextensions etc should make up half your lower body workouts. And lower body should make up half your program, its half your body so why work it less than upper?

Read the sticky topics in the training section and put together a program.
