Looks quite good. I don't think that is enough work on legs, maybe a leg day on it's own and just do abs once a week? And maybe throw another one into shoulders like arnolds or something? I'm doing a 5 day split atm too, I do: - Legs
- Chest
- Back
- Arms
- Shoulders
I do 4 exercises for each muscle group and 4 sets of each exercise.

I don't want big legs to be honest. I want ab's for the summer though, which is why I have working them set. Thanks, would you mind showing me your routine?

do you like going to the gym 5 days a week, you can maybe turn it into a shorter week like a 3 day split. Maybe put your arms with chest and back... It looks alright but you don't have really much to do on any given day except for your chest day when all 4 of your workouts are hitting the chest, so my advise would be to put em together. Maximize your time! I currently am doing a full body right now as well, i was on it for 4 months, it is now time for change, i'm going to start doing a split routine 3 days a week, still with the same mentality of compund lifts.. Mon - Chest/shoulders/tri (i'll do 4 chest workouts 2 shoulder and 1 tri iso) Wed - Back/Bis Fri - Legs/Abs Let me know what you think.

For one, having an arm day is just silly, a whole day for such small muscles?
