Well, how does the workout fit into a week schedual? In other words how many off days are you taking
How long do you stick with that routine? I find what works best for me is doing the same excercises for 2-3 weeks, then switching it up completely
Ditch dumbell bench or flat bench and do incline, throw in some leg press some leg days
if you can do 3 sets of pullups for 10 reps each proper form, start adding some weight on the 2nd and 3rd sets
In my routine I do shoulders all in one day, maybe try seperating chest/tris with shoulders, do them on seperate days, works better for me
Most importantly, eat
Edit: just noticed you arent even doing a shoulder press or anything, do shoulders on a seperate day and do 4-5 sets of shoulder presses, alot of strength will come from that

This is just my preference but i would take every exercise you have there and adjust the weight you are using so that all of them are the same amount of reps per set. that way they are all about the same % of your one rep max too.
then after 8 weeks change things up.
i think that would work better than the all over the place rep ranges you have. i am no expert though.. obviously.

I was hoping to see some graphic material right away but oh well....
First thing I'd do is move deadlifts onto back day. Squatting and deadlifting on the same day can be quite hard and I think its better if those two are split. I'd personally decrease the amount of back exercises by one movement so that you end up with three pulling movements. Even two might be enough.
And what exactly is "Some machine that works back and abs: 4x8-15"?
On your chest/delt/tri day, I'd do an overhead press right after the first bench press exercise, then perhaps dips or or DB bench and finish off with lateral raises and cheset flyes. No real need for triceps pushdowns after all those presses.
Legs:
6-8 sets of squats is a lot. Perhaps cut it down a bit unless you're doing very low rep sets. Leg curl could be replaced with good mornings or glute-ham raises.Strength + Speed = Power
If you never fail, you aren't truly pushing yourself to the limit. If you never push yourself to the limit, how do you know what you're truly capable of?

If you are looking to put on mass, lower the reps. Max you should be failing at each set is 10 reps. You dont want to go too high for reps early on, where you dont have the energy to get quality reps and weight on the later exercises in the workout.
What days are you working out? Monday, wednesday, friday? Sunday, tuesday, thursday?
Agreed with the poster above, add weight to your pullups.
If you have always done the split above, I would switch it up to:
day 1- back/chest
day 2- legs/shoulders
day 3- biceps/triceps/forearms

I'm under the impression than anymore than 5 sets is too much. I'm not sure how true this is, but you seem to be doing a LOT. I keep my assistance lifts to 5x10 max, and I feel that is plenty. And might I suggest doing incline dumbbell bench on day 2? I think that'd be better suited than flat dumbbell bench.

1) Now that I have added information, where is my PM?
2) How long have you been working out and how long on your current routine?
3) You show a 3 day split, but you workout 4 days a week?
4) Since I am going to assume you have been stagnate with your routine and havent put much effort because you feel you are not sure what you are going to do, Im going to give you a good routine that I am doing and a lot of people have success with.
5) Read this article http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_a...nsity-training
6) Try this out.
Mon- push routine. Rest 30 seconds between each exercise and 1 minute at the end of each cycle and repeat 3 times.
incline DB press - 30 secs
DB push press - 30 secs
cable flye - 30 secs
standing calf raise - 30 secs
dips - 30 secs
20 minutes of interval training on treadmill.
wed- pull routine
pullups til failure
walking lunges - 30 secs
barbell row - 30 secs
leg extensions - 30 secs
DB curls (not alternating) - 30 secs
after done with the 3 cycles, do an ab routine and walk on the treadmill on an incline for 30 minutes
Fri- Heavy push day
bench press x8
side raises x8
machine flye x8
standing calf raises x8
tricep pressdown exercise x8
20 minutes of HIIT on treadmill.
Sat- Heavy pull day
deadlift x8
upright row x8
pulldown exercise x8
leg press x10
bicep exercise x8
Do ab routine after the 3 cycles and walk on an incline on the treadmill for 30 minutes
Thats it! If you think you can handle this, try it. If not, then stop posting on BB.com. Get a watch with a chronograph if you dont have a wall clock. This routine will add mass and shred you up at the same time. I bet you at the end of 4 weeks of this routine and proper nutrition, you will be happy with the results."I don't say goodbye until the pain says hello.

1. Where the heck do you get "12 sets of chest" from?
2. You are not understanding. A 2 day split with three workout days a week would mean that a given day...say the one that includes chest...would only be done twice a week at most....not three times....averaging 1.5 times. Look at SS. It has two workouts and three workout days a week.
