Question with my routine

[dcsenger]

This is what my routine looks like as of now but from what I have been reading I was wondering if I would be better off taking a day off in between each day working out and only working each muscle once a week? Also I do do legs but I normally due them on a day I have time and work them only once a week. Any help would be appreciated.

Add a day where you work your Legs consistently. Looks like too much frequency, especially in relationshipt to volume of sets. Also poor exercise selection. No deadlifts? No squats? No military presses? Pullups? Yet you have 3 bench press movements .

No offense, but this routine is awful - you have no sense of priority, or propriety for that matter. 12 sets for your biceps? Where's your ab work? Forearm work? Leg work (again, the fact that you aren't prioritizing your legs is ludicrous). All this volume and you only have one day off?

Concurrently, given the fact that you obviously are prioritizing "vanity" muscles (arm, chest) by confusing principles (more is better), you are going to have much much less than optimal results (if any).

Also, why did you arbirtarily make your skull crusher exercise 3 sets, while everything else is 4? What is so special concerning skull crushers that you employ a variation where everything else is perfectly constant? Or it this simply a consequence of whim; randomization for the sake of randomization? This needs some serious work.

100% agreed.

Thats what i expected and why i posed it. I have tried to find routines but I'm normally pretty unsuccessful in my results. I knew that this prob wasn't a good routine but I just asked a friend for advice and he told me it would be good. If theres any links to a site with some good routines it would be greatly appreciated. Like I said I'm not really experienced and all the help would be greatly appreciated. The best site I think i found so far would have to be http://www.thetrainingstationinc.com/3Day_Week1.html. Any other suggestions would be great.
