I don't do much for my legs although I am starting to do calf raise between sets.

I met this guy, Ernie Temple a few weeks ago at a company Christmas party. He's a 9th degree black belt in Isshinryu Karate. I'm thinking of taking some of his classes soon.
You should combine some of your workouts and concentrate on doing some big oly lifts like squats or deadlifts. I guarantee you that if you did squats you would be twice as muscular.....squats don't only work your legs but your entire core.

Doing triceps and biceps as single workouts is a bit strange. Why not do Triceps and Chest since most of bench presses, dips etc seem to work both muscles.

Maybe you're just so jacked that you need to devote a whole day to each muscle...

I would highly encourage you to do your legs though. Just think about it rationally....you are devoting a WHOLE workout day to the bicep which is one tiny muscle compared to your ENTIRE lower half of your body.

Look how tiny the bicep is compared to everything else below your waist line...

he just started so maybe he needs to warm up a bit to the whole weightlifting routine.

i have a friend (from this forum lol) and he only benches like 95 pounds. he weighs about 185lbs too. lol

if anybody knows him from here then send him a message about this post. i think his username is fzarza2000 or something to that effect.

he'll go with me to the gym for a week and then he'll quit for a month. lazy fool

Tuesday - Back
3 sets - 20-30 reps - pull ups
3 sets - 20-30 reps - seated rows
3 sets - 20-30 reps - lat pull downs

If you're not doing your legs you are only unleashing half of your body's potential. Seriously.

Deadlifts, Squats, Stepups, Lunges FTW!

Great that you are exercising but here are a few suggestions. As I said in the above post, you definitely NEED to do your legs.

Second suggestion is that you are doing WAY too many reps. If you can do 30 reps then the weight is not heavy enough and you won't really grow muscle that fast. Here is the way it works: If you lift HEAVY HEAVY weight your body goes into a shock and says: "Holy $hit, I need to grow the muscles since this MOFO is working me to death due to the heavy lifts he's doing". In other words, your body is shocked and tries to grow muscles as fast as possible to get used to the heavy weight. This is why you should keep the reps around 5 and no more than 8. Majority of my exercises are done 5 sets with 5 reps but I usually can't finish the last 1-2 reps because it's so heavy. I've been following this routine and I'm benching 225 lbs since I've started to work out in May 2007.

When I first started I didn't know what I was doing so I would always do lots of reps. Once I changed to low rep count and high weight, the muscles just started to come on.

If you want to do further research then google the following term: "5x5"

Post here is you need help with anything.
