PES Rep
I'd cut the warm-up to 10 minutes and space this out over 4 days. That's a lot to do in each session and you will be in the gym far too long.

I was trying to make it 4 days but i couldnt figure out how i would do that

4 days would be
1 - chest/tri's
2 - back/bi's
3 - legs
4 - shoulders/forearms
at least that's how i would do them. i'm a fan of the 5 day routine myself.
the setup you have going on would hit your back every day of the 3 days, which i'm sure is not your intention.

I do:
Chest/Leg curls/Leg extensions
Back/Traps/Calves
Shoulders/Arms(including forearms)/Squats/leg press
Off
Make-Up Day
Off
Repeat
I work legs and abs everyday. Now sometimes this can be over exhausting/take up too much time, so after my off day I will have a "make-up" day if needed and hit anything I missed. My make-up day ends up usually being an extra leg day with dead lifts and/or heavy shrugs.

It depends on what you're looking for. This is a descent set up to add size. I would change dead lifts to 5x5. Also, if you can do 5x20 pushups correctly at the end of your chest/triceps day, then you are definately not working hard enough on your other exercises. Thats just my opinion though.

Thats cool. If im working out with a partner we will do sets of 10 pushups between each set.

1 - i would move deads to back day myself.
2 - i would add upright rows to shoulder day
3 - remember that triceps have 3 heads (and therefore 3 grips), so CG bench, dips, and for seated, do a reverse grip (underhand)
i think the routine looks good though. i second the pushup thing. if you can do 3x20 at the end of chest/tri day, step up the intensity. i would use the pushups to gauge how effectively you're working out, more than anything else.
good luck

I personally like 1 pecs alone
2 off-abs
3 back/bis
4 off-abs
5shoulders/tris
6 0ff-abs
7 legs
That way I am not over training any one body part. Especially if you train balls to the wall intense.

If you train intensely though, you will be sore or not fully healed on a particular body part that will overlap the next one that you train eg; your tris still recovering(even though you haven't focused on them they still take on a workload) after having worked your pecs. You do have to work within whatever schedule you have of course, I understand.
