Looks fine. Just drop the arnold and front raises, your anterior delts will get enough worked through overhead presses and bench presses.

I posted it up on a couple sites and a few people were like yeah it's s*** drop the routine entirely but i honestly don't get what is so wrong with it? I look atother peoples routines and thats what they split their routine into chest/tris back/bis shoulders/traps and legs/abs. One guy gave me a routine to do but i honestly think its too simple in my opinion

monday
deadlift, chinup dip, front squat

tuesday off

wednesday
Bench Press, Hyper extensions, Row, Lunge

Thursday off

Friday
Squat, Pullup, military press, RDL

Saturday off

Sunday
Lunges, Dip, Row, hyperextensions

monday off

so on and so forth, just to give you a sample

This too me doesnt look intense enough i could be wrong but like my workout includes all of these exercises and more added in?

You have the appropriate movements; those accessory movements aren't going to negatively impact your goals. They don't "overtrain you" if you enjoy doing those movements keep them.

As far as other sites though - I was the one that critiqued you on BB.net - I'm plateau :).

Your routine has a lot of exercises (maybe too much) but you have balanced movements and etc. and you're fine the way it is, I wouldn't add anything, just do it like it is and see how you respond.

The routine the other guy gave you was fine too.

I personally would use the routine he gave you before the one you listed, just because I respond better from those type of routines. But if you're confident in your response to the accessory movements in your program then it's cool, as stated - they won't negatively impact your gains.

Yeah i get what your saying, its just the first kind of split i got serious with, before i just randomly chose exercises and stuck with them for 4 months. So you say the workouts are pretty much around the same movements just mine has a few added extras am i right? I know i probably am a pain in the a** asking questions but i just wanna get it right this time but the other routine to me just seems too little i don't know why i think that though? But you think my routine is fine just keep it the way it is?

Yeah, both routines are fine.
