Critique my routine

[hxcBB]

I posted this in the workout programs section and didnt get a whole lot of feedback so ill try it here. i planned out this routine focuing mostly on not overtraining because i feel i have been recently which is hindering my gains. Im planning on starting this tonight so if anybody has suggestions they are welcomed.

Day 1: Shoulders/Triceps
Military Press - 3 sets
Skullcrushers - 2 sets
Front Laterals - 2 sets
CGBP - 2 sets
Side Laterals - 2 sets
Dips (machine) - 3 sets
Reverse Pec Deck - 2 sets
Overhead Press - 2 sets

Day 2: Biceps/Back/Forearms
Lat Pulldown - 3 sets
Hammer Strength rows - 3 sets
Hammer Grip pullups - 3 sets
Close grip lat pulldowns (with row attachment) - 3 sets
Seated DB curls - 3 sets
Wrist Curls - 3 sets
Deadlift - 4 sets


Day 3: Chest
Decline bench - 4 sets
Incline bench - 4 sets
cable cross - 4 sets
butterfly - 4 sets

Day 4: Legs
Squats - 4 sets
Lunges - 4 sets
leg extension - 4 sets
Seated leg curl - 4 sets
seated calf raises - 4 sets

Im not quite sure as to what the rep range is going to be but ill experiment. What do you think about the amound of sets? Should i go up on some or lower others? I havent tried this schedule yet im just trying to come up with something new. A question i had was that i always have done shrugs for my taps but couldnt find the best place to put them in there, do you think deads are going to be good enough for them or should i do them on a specific day? Im trying to put a lot of focus on my legs as well as my triceps as those are the bodyparts i feel are lagging a little bit. Tell me what you think and if you would do anything differently.

yeah, instead of having 3 sets here, 2 there, 4 there, make it 3 sets for each exericse.

3 sets per exercise is plenty

[hxcBB]

only reason i was doing it that way was because it was normally 3 sets for a more compound movement and 2 for a more isolated movement

ok buddy, you shouldnt do the pushing and pulling muscle (chest/triceps and back/biceps back to back) so use the same program but go Day 1-Legs, Day2 Chest, Day 3 Off, Day 4 Back/Biceps, Day 5 Triceps/Shoulders Day 6 off and day 7 as well if you want or u can juse restart the split after day 6 w/e u want. Also forearms are good to work but they do get alot of work jus from doing tri and bi exercises, so dont feal like if you dont do them specifically there becomming neglected, hope this helped dude.
