Without more information.....


Sure.

[phozosado]

Not to dog you, OP, but do you seriously expect an answer to that?

1. Not enough info.
2. Should be in the workout section, not 'exercises.'
3. Why not just grab a routine from the stickies in the 'Workout' section?

[RussAnderson]

all depends on the volume, i like to train back alone like legs it demands a lot of effort so i train biceps with chest and triceps with shoulders works for me.

To get bigger and stronger...I have been gaining strength, but no size. I have invested in a weight gainer. I like to focus on chest by itself...

fail 1. No need for a weight gainer. Just eat more calorie-dense foods.
fail 2. Still no list of exercises, rep range, set numbers, etc.
fail 3. Focusing on a bodypart by itself is fine, but in your case it seems contrary to your stated goals.

If you want advice, you're going to have to post your entire workout. Likely diet is a big part of this, so giving the nutrition stickies a read would be worth your while.

Chest Day involves incline barbell, flat dumbbell, chest freemotion, decline press, and incline dumbbell.
Arm day involves ez bar curls, hammer curls, bicep machine curl, tricep pushdown, tricep dumbbell extension, and another tricep exercise that varies
Back and shoulders include MP, dumbbell press, front and lateral raises, low row, high row, t bar row

Legs and abs I havent done in a while...

6-8 reps per set, 3-4 sets per exercise

I'll give it about a tree-fiddy/fail

Okay - got it.

My opinion:

Number of problems here.

1. You need to do legs if you want to get big. Period. You can even drop the arm day if you have to. The legs have to be a part of it. It's not just for strength.
2. Too many chest exercises. You want to stimulate, not annihilate.
3. Lose the arm day. Do triceps with your chest. Biceps with your back.
4. Need pulldowns or pullups on back day. Try standing overhead press instead of dumbbell presses.
5. Rep range is a little too low for strictly size, though you'll still see noob gains IF you add legs and fix your routine.

I'd suggest going to the workout routines section and grabbing something off the sticky entitled "Routines and Advice." The 4 day split is excellent. Then go to the nutrition stickies and checkout the calculating your macros sticky. You'll need a nice calorie surplus to make this work. Good luck.

What days do you actually do these "days" on? That is key information there too.


Too many compounds for chest day, IMO. Your arms will be dead while your chest has more to give on the final exercises.
