For a 5 day split id do larger muscle groups eg: Quad dominant (squats, legpress) Hip dominant (Deadlifts, glute ham raises) Chest,shoulders,tri's Back,Bi's Beach muscles Id swap smith machine press for free weight and behind the neck press to dumbell press (not a fan of behind the neck exercises at all) Id do more compound work on the legs so more deadlift or squat variations eg. romanian deadlift, front squats. swap the flyes on chest day for another compound lift. 9 kg in 10 weeks is a tall order mate why the rush? you wont put that on in muscle unless your a genetic freak. How long you been liftin? to be honest even if your on the juice you wont put that much pure muscle on in 10 weeks. Its a long process.

Mon: Chest Tue: Back Wed: Rest Thu: Shoulders Fri: Legs Chest Flat Bench Incline Fly Dips Cable Pulls/Incline/Decline Press Back Deadlift Chin Up Shrugs A Row variation Shoulders OH Press Lateral Raise Rear delt Pull/Row Upright Row Legs Squat Ham Curl Calf Raise Abductor/Adductor machine You could add cleans in there too, probably a good idea seeing as you're doing a ton of iso's already.

robthemus1 5ft 11 ,86kg Goal 95kg in 10 weeks eating 6 times a day solidly. Mon: Shoulders Tue: Arms Wed: Legs Thur: Back Fri: Chest Sat/Sun:Rest Shoulders: Smith Machine Press 4x10, Reverse Raises 4x10, Behind Neck Press 4x10, Barbell Shrugs 4x10 Dont do anything on the smith machine...ever...Behind the neck presses are terrible for your rotator cuffs. Shrugs really arent for your shoulders...I would move them to back day. Arms: Close Grip Curls 4x10, Hammer Curls 4x10, Reverse Curls 4x10, Pushdowns 4x10, Dips 4x10, Close Grip Press 4x10 Your arms do not need a day to themselves... If you absolutely HAVE to do any kind of arm isolation add it to the respectable larger muscle group day. I.E. biceps to back, triceps to chest. Legs: Squats 5x10, LEg Curls 4x10, Extentions 4x10, Calve Raises 4x10 Stay away from the leg isolations, calves are fine...there are other things like lunges you can do. Back: Deadlift 4x10, Chin ups (Wide Grip) 4x5-6, Seated Row 4x10 By far your best looking day out of everything...accept the seated rows, replace them with barbell rows. Chest: Incline Press 4x10, Incline Flys 4x10, Decline press 4x10, bench 4x10 Delcine is worthless... you dont need to do flyes either, but its not as bad of a choice as your other ones. Dips and push ups are also something to look at.
6'3" @213 Squat 1x20x275 press:200, Deadlift:475, Bench:300, P.clean:235, Squat:385 "The only failure that is final is to stop trying to improve"

Well since everyone else critiqued, guess I will too. First of all, I don't think there's absolutely any given reason for a natural athlete to workout 5X Per week. Why? Testosterone levels have dropped 8 hours post-workout and don't return to normal levels until about 36-48 hours later, yet cortisol (catabolic hormone) remains high. Here's what I would do: Add in the accessory lifts you need. I don't know what isolations you need, only you know that. Day 1 - Chest & Biceps **Flat Bench **Incline Bench **Weighted Dips **Barbell Curls Day 3 - Back & Triceps **Deadlift **BB Row **Chins **Skull Crushers Day 5 - Legs & Shoulders **Squat **Glute/hamstring raise or stiff-leg deadlift **OHP **BO Lateral Raise Now, the problem I have with this routine is it isn't near frequent enough to get any maximal benefit. You're just going to slow your recovery rate down. I'd opt. PERSONALLY for something like this. Day 1: Squat Flat BB Bench OHP BB Row Chins Day 3: Deadlift GHR Incline BB Press BB Row Chins Day 5: Squat Weighted Dips OHP BB Row Chins That would probably serve more effective.
