    first thing that really just JUMPS out at me is that you have FOUR exercises for biceps and just TWO for back????? wtf is going on?? dont you see something VERY wrong with that???? thats all im gonna say, i dont have the time to post a thorough reply so ill just say a couple quick things. skimp on the isolation (sissy) exercises and add more compound lifts. especially for back. back is extremely important. when you train back you also hit your biceps pretty well but since you are only doing 2 exercises you probably arent. i dont do ANY direct bicep work. zero. they get hit hard enough from training back. also, i didnt see any posterior deltoid work. ???????

    Squat and deadlift, learn them, love them.

    Seriously, more tri then chest? WAY more bi the back? If you want big arms you have to train everything else. For every 10lbs you gain an 1" on your arms.

    First off what are your goals, if bodybuilding.
    Leg day add 4 sets squats, and 3 sets glute ham raises
    Put arms on their own day
    Back needs 2 row exercises, and 2 pulldown types
    Shoulders need rear delt exercise
    Definately use close grip bench presses on chest tris

    As stated above its a common idea of working the glamour muscles which isnt the way to go if your putting in the time and effort work them all and all of them equally and to the full extent. As mentioned everyone should have Deads and squats theres just no debate to be made on that topic.

    Thanks for the help guys. I started squats and deads this week and lowered the amount of sets on the tris and bis and upped the amount of sets on chest, legs and back. I also added in that much needed rear delt exercise.
