I would like some feed back on this routine. I’m not looking at getting huge. I want to get add about 10 lbs of muscle and lose a little more fat. Not looking to do this overnight.
I have a 4 day split with 2 days off a week. My days off will change every week because of my work schedule; nothing can be done about this. Sometimes the off will fall after a chest day sometimes after a leg day….etc
---GYM---GYM---GYM---GYM---GYM---OFF---GYM---OFF---
(sample 5 week schedule)
1---2---3---4---1---O---2
O---3---4---1---2---3---O
4---O---1---2---3---4---1
O---2---O---3---4---1---2
3---O---4---O---1---2---3

I would like to keep a split like below but willing to change rep numbers add sets…etc.
I do hack squat instead of normal squats because of my right knee. Squats kill my knee and I feel it for days later with affects other days.

ill start with the legs... if your not doing alot of volume for legs u should squat. Its a big movement and ive noticed the more bigger movements you do and the heavier you do the better i burn fat.. Id do 3 x 8 or 3 x 5 on squat realtively heavy...

Day 3 for shoulders you dont need to do DB press and shoulder press there pretty much the same. otherwise it looks ok

Day 2 - dont do stiff leg deadlift thats for your hamstrings. do regular deads. and for biceps do DB or Barbell curls and Hammer dont drop the hammer curls. because db and barbell are about the same.

Day 1 looks good but id do 3 tricep movements.. 1 mass builder such as overhead barbell extentions, reverse or close grip bench. then skull crushers then pulldowns..

Good note about the deadlift. Can't belive I missed that.

well ur bi's should be pumped up good enough from heavy deadlifts and rows and pullups.. so i think 2 should be good...

the sets and reps look good. i said 3 sets on tris because pulldowns are like take home tests.. they just make u feel good when u do good on em.. you need more heavy movements for triceps which will = faster arm growth.
