Okay so I'm looking for some guidance on a training split in terms of exercises, sets, reps etc. I was previously doing Rippetoe's and was making some good strength gains however for some reason I hit the wall a bit and have became lazy :/
Excuses aside though I go away on holiday in a few month so I'm looking to get in shape and to lean out a bit as I've put on a little unwanted fat around the waist.
I've provisionally laid out a workout schedule which is as follows:
Workout A – Chest / Tri’s
4 x 10 x Bench Press
4 x 10 x Incline Bench Press
4 x 10 x Dumbbell Flyes
4 x 10 x Overhead Dumbell Extension
4 x 10 x Tricep Rope Pushdowns
Workout B – Back / Bi’s
4 x ? x Chin ups
4 x 5 x Deadlifts
4 x 10 x Low Pulley Cable Rows
4 x 10 x E.Z Bar Curls
4 x 10 x Hammer Curls
3 x ? x Barbell wrist curls
Workout C – Legs / Shoulders
4 x 5 x Squats
4 x 10 x Leg Extensions
4 x 10 x Hamstring Curls (should I drop these as my hamstrings will get a workout off deadlifts on back day?)
3 x ? x Machine Calf Raises
4 x 10 x Military Press / Dumbbell press?
4 x 10 x Lateral Dumbbell Raises
4 x 10 x Dumbbell Shrugs
Would this sort of volume be suitable or should I look to drop a set here and there. I've basically decided to follow 3 exercises for the large body parts and 2 exercises on smaller parts.
Any comments, criticisms or feedback would be welcomed
Thanks

iw144 I'm wanting to keep the weights as heavy as possible And after a few weeks or so I may look to include the odd superset.
Also matjusm, I've edit my original post. I'd forgot to put that they were wrist curls, so I could work my forearms a little. I agree on the diet point, I'm currently planning out a diet plan and have already started cutting my carbs down. I will be posting an article in the nutrition section as soon as I have a diet sorted.
Thanks guys.
