    day2=back
    da3=shoulders/traps
    day4=bis and tris
    day5=legs

    day7=start repeat

    shoulders i do dumbell shoulder press,military press, front raise and lateral raise then traps i do dumbell and barbell shrugs

    legs i do squats, leg press, lex extensions,deadlifts,seated leg curl

    also jog every morning and night because i need to keep fit and need to start working abs, whats the best way to work abs? my abs are apparantly pretty strong but i havent worked them for a while, i was thinking 2 times a week and doing crunches, leg raises and decline sit ups? maybe 3 sets of 15 each?

    Its okay, however, you might need more days off to recover.

    I use:
    Monday: Chest
    Tuesday: Arms
    Thursday: Back
    Friday: Legs

    All other days are rest. But if you recover quick then I suppose its okay.

    Way too many isolation movements and volume. There's no need to do so many movements. I'd do more compounds and stay away from all those isolations, cut out a lot of volume. You'd be better off looking for a program then creating your own. It may be working for you but I don't like the look of your program.

    Good luck,
    Pete

    i think i recover quickly, when i go to the gym the next day i feel great and not tired, and when i start my routine again my muscles are recovered from there previous work out so i think no worries there.

    what are some exercises i could do to replace some of these isolation movements?

    or is there a program you could recommend? basically im just looking to bulk up

    You're giving enough time in between muscle groups, while you're only taking a day off you're still giving multiple days in between hitting the same muscle twice... my exact split but my actual lifts are different, the split is good too lazy to look at the lifts heh
