Looking for advice.

hey, I was wondering if I could get some advice on my workout routine. My routine has been working great for me but I don't think I am getting the results I could be getting. I am currently working on putting a leg routine in with my chest workout I normally would go for a run every other night and on the nights I don't run I do my ab routine.

Way to much arm work! Put your chest with triceps and shoulders. Put your back with biceps and your legs all by their lonesome and then it would seem to me you would have killed 2 birds with one stone. I didnt really look at everything to close, but after you decide whether you like this idea or not we could possibly go from there.

far to much volume in my opinion, read the sticky's at the top of the training forum on how to put together a routine, I did and have made some of the best gains since I was a newbie....repost your new rouine back here for further advice.....and what are your goals?

Please rewrite your post it's unreadable and it fucks up the thread's layout.

Cheers for reposting it.

That's a lot of volume man, your body won't be able to recover from all that. I'd limit it to a maximum of 4 compounds and 3 isolation lifts a day, possibly less if you're training 4 days a week. Also, a split can work, but push/pull/legs is better overall I think.

Remember that the bigger a muscle group, the more it can take. Similarly, small muscle groups like your biceps don't need that much work.
