Haven't really posted on here much anymore, but I am looking to change my routine up, mainly to a four day split that focuses on compound movements only for chest and back days, than a leg day, follow by an arms day. Haven't done this type of split before and was looking for some feed back on it.

Day 1
DB press 3 sets 4-8 reps
Barbell pullover 3 sets 4-8 reps
Incline DB press 3 sets 4-8 reps
closegrip bench press 3 sets 4-8 reps
incline flys 3 sets 4-8reps

Day 2
pullups 3 sets 4-8 reps
deadlift 3 sets 4-8 reps
bentover rows 3 sets 4-8 reps
arnolds 3 sets 4-8 reps
upright rows 3 sets 4-8 reps
lat pulldown 2 sets 4-8 reps

rest

day 3
squats 3 sets 4-8 reps
SLDL 3 sets 4-8 reps
calf raises 4 sets 4-8 reps
lunges 3 sets 4-8 reps

Day 4
BB curl 3 sets 4-8 reps
skull crushers 3 sets 4-8 reps
incline bench curl 3 sets 4-8 reps
tricep press down 3 sets 4-8 reps
hammer curls 3 sets 4-8 reps
closegrip skulls 3 sets 4-8 reps
(thinking of maybe some arnolds)

My problem right now is I see too much volume in this. Not sure what others would agree or not. But if you do, feel free to say what you would take out or substitute in. I wish I could have dips in there, but no access to the dip bars or a weight belt at the moment. any comments are appreciated.

In my opinion i would make a few changes like...

Day 1
DB press 3 sets 4-8 reps
Barbell pullover 3 sets 4-8 reps
Incline DB press 3 sets 4-8 reps
Decline DB press 3 sets 4-8 reps
incline flys 3 sets 4-8reps

Day 2
pullups 3 sets 4-8 reps
deadlift 3 sets 4-8 reps
bentover rows 3 sets 4-8 reps
arnolds 3 sets 4-8 reps
shrugs 3 sets 4-8 reps
upright rows 3 sets 4-8 reps
wide grip lat pulldown 2 sets 4-8 reps
only problem on this day is you have shoulders in there but not enough exercises like your arnolds and up right rows

rest

day 3
skullcrushers 3 sets 4-8 reps (with close grip bench in between sets 3 sets 4-8 reps)
tricep pushdown 3 sets 4-8 reps
tricep extension 3 sets 4-8 reps

squats 3 sets 4-8 reps
SLDL 3 sets 4-8 reps
calf raises 4 sets 4-8 reps
lunges 3 sets 4-8 reps

Day 4
BB curl 3 sets 4-8 reps
incline bench curl 3 sets 4-8 reps
21's 3 sets 4-8 reps
hammer curls 3 sets 4-8 reps
wrist curl 3 sets 4-8 reps (first set of 3 forearms up, 2nd set of 3 forearms upside down)

this is just my opinion how i would do it if i was doing a 4 day split to make sure i get enough exercises per muscle to make sure its actually doing work

but good luck hope this helps
