Too many biceps are the same, maybe throw some hammer curls in there instead.

Don't work your traps brah?

Also IMO, do arms and shoulders on different days.

ok brah
i only do dumbell shrugs, im kinda genetically gifted with traps
why should i do my arms on a different day brah ?

my routine is
monday : chest/back

tuesday: legs

wednesday: arm/shoulder

friday: chest/back

IMO you have way too many sets..id do 1-2 set per diff exercise

i wouldnt do shoulders at the same time with triceps like someone said because you use your triceps to push for shoulder exercises.So if you train triceps along with shoulders that you'll be overworking the muscle.

I find shoulder days and arm days to be quite long, so if i did them both on the same day i'd be there for around 3 hours. I have a 5 day split and find it works well. Edit: and i do less than you for my arms but more for shoulders.

my arms on there own take around 45 mins, if i add shoulders, 1hr 10 mins lol

Doesn't look bad to me, but too many of the same movements for biceps like i said.

You're tricep routnie is nearly the same as mine, but i do dips instead of skull crushers. Oh, and what about forearms?

yes !!
my forearms are rather big aswell, maybe every other week i would do hammer curls instead of dumbell curls
from now on im going to do

biceps & forearms:
preacher curls
barbell curls
hammer curls

triceps stay the same

do you think doing back/chest together is a good idea ?
ive made some brill gains from doing it

That looks good to me there.
You do back and chest in the same day? **** how long does that take?
You could always try doing chest and back on different days if you're unsure which one you'd like better.

ide put some rear delt work in on the shoulder day... maybe take out one of those pressing movements and switch that in.

do ur shoulders first, and add in 2 sets of 20 at the end of ur arm workout.

and try do arms twice a week, if u have to do them the same day as something else it helps to do one thing in the morning and arms at night. splits up the recovery a bit, cause thats where ur arms do there building.

run sprints too, sprints are heaps good. and change something each day doesnt have to be huge, just mix it up and see what pumps good.

try
biceps
3-4 8-5 x heavy one arm dumbell preacher curls for ur heavy set
3-4 12-9 x ezy bar curls, 2 wide and 2 narrow (works the 2 bicep muscles awesome)
2 20 x zottman curls, keep up the intensity, ur going for burn. change ur burn set to something different the next time, keep ur muscles guessing.

tris
3-4 8-5 x tricep pushdowns (v bar or rope)
3-4 12-10 x one armed reverse grip tricep pushdowns (best tricep exercise ever)
2 20 x scull crushers with a ezybar.

keep adding weight after each set stepping it up.
