I think it looks alright.
Thought I would dump the flyes and decline presses on chest day. Do more incline pressing instead

lol wut do u mean ?? wut shood i change??

Imo its a bit overkill. 4 days a week should be more than enough and a whole day for only arms is a bit much.

^ I agre with all the above. Split the arms up and throw them in at the end of the back and chest or shoulders sessions. (You could group the sessions together even more really).

Knock off some of the less important exercises.

With regard to your initial question - the leg session looks good - right exercises and right order.

Your back session again the right order but as with a couple of the other sessions too many movements. Get rid of 2 of the rows or better yet alternate between the 3 each workout.

for your chest workout I would say to get rid of the decline presses and replace it with weighted dips. with a forward lean it really hits the lower pecs hard

I'd just like to through in my two cents...

Anymore than 12 reps for an exercise increase the sacroplasmic portion of the muscle tendon, neglecting the myofibril. Now, with no information on rest periods, 15 reps will only improve muscle endurance. For complete back development, you need the following: A deadlift, a high pull (shrugs, cleans), a low pull (chins pulldowns), and a mid pull. Anything else I feel is overlapping.

i dont agree with what your saying about putting arms with back whenevr i tried that i wouldnt ever have enough energy for arms i think they are great together only thing i think should be changed with this is traps should go with back

fanks for suggestions, with the decline bench press if i dont do it after a few weeks i always seem too lose bit of mass near the bottom of my pecs. i no most ppl dont like them but they are workin for me.

With back i was think of changing up the routine a bit, with the rowin movements i was thinkin that every alternating week i wood do first tbars n barbell rows den the next week do cable rows n dumbell rows, wut do u think ???

Alternating exercises that frequently will only cause gains through neurological adaptions, not with muscular overload.

I would stick to a particular rowing movement, and switch every 3-6 weeks.
