Hey guys new to this forum and i was just wondering if someone could sugest a routine for me?

Here's what i own:
Bench Press with 1 level decline
EZ Bar
DB's
BB
Lat Attachment for bench
Leg press on bench

I had a massive routing that consisted of 2 days; day 1 was all upper body and 2 was all lower body. It looked like this:

DAY1 Flat bench press DAY3 Squats
DBPress Leg Extensions
Lat Pull (back) Travelling/ static lunges
Close grip pull Leg curls
Standing millitaries Bracing
Upright rows Crunches
EZ bar curls Push bikes
Dbcurls
Lat pull down (tri's)
DB kick backs

And basically that screwed me over becasue it took so bloody long to complete day1. So i broke up the upper body routine like this: day 1 is chest, back and forearms. Day2 is shoulders biceps and triceps. I stopped doing lower body cos i basically just want to increase my upper body size at the moment.

With all exercises except for EZ curls i do 4 sets consisting of 15 for the 1st 10 for the 2nd 8 for the 3rd and 6 for the last. For EZ bar curls i do 21's (i think thats what they call them, i got it after watching a Ronnie Coleman doco).

I got the initial routine from a friend of the family who is a PT. But after looking through these forums im starting to think this routine isnt looking to good.

If someone could revise this for me and suggest any changes or even give me a completely new routine that would be tops. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

To be honest your first routine looked pretty good gievn the equipment to hand.
If the day 1 routine was taking too long then I'd cut out the kickbacks and DB curls and maybe replace the close pulldown with a deadlift. You shouldn't need to do anymore than that. Also rather than pyramidding the weight in your sets I'd suggest doing your warm up sets (only 1 or 2 are needed) and then jump straight into your main weight rather than expending energy on working your way up to the biggest.
Don't not do your lower body - definately not - even if your lower body overpowers your upper , still work it.
Don't forget the diet and rest hjave to be in order to make effective gains!

I don't think you should be routing, it leaves large grooves in your body that will scar badly.

Marry some movements together and create a routine that will cover the basic strength components. Here is basic guide where opposite movements are used and cover the basics.

Day 1 Heavy
BB Rows
Bench
Pullups (or pulldowns, but pullups are the goal)
Incline DB bench
Grip (wrist roller, or wrist curls)

Day 2 Heavy
Squats (either do pistols, and then graduate to using dumbbel pistols, or clean the bar to the shoulder and squat, or use the bench uprights as the squat racks, or do dumbell squats)
SLDL
Hammy curl
Standing calf (either one legged or two)

Day 3 Medium (higher reps)
DB rows
Shoulder press (standing or seated, but swap between the two week to week)
Dips (bench dips or normal ones)
Chins
Bicep curl of your choice
Tricep ext (swap between overhead, skull crushers, and push downs)

Day 4 medium
Lunge
Deadlift
Hammy curl
Power Clean
Seated calves

You should have all the equipment to do these. THe sets and reps are up to you, but remember that the big exercises are first, and should be warmed up through. The medium day means do higher reps than the heavy day, and then after a couple of weeks change which is the heavy and medium days.

Looks like I misunderstood. I thought that he'd just written routine wrong (routing). :)

Routing is from woodworking. Basically you etch a channel in the wood. It would be like carving a long thin deep chunk out of you body.
