Critique please

Well, here is my workout schedule....I workout 6 days a week ( I know many of you might disown that idea) but I LOVE the gym and I can not STAND off days. On off days I feel so lazy and wierd.

Anyways here is how it goes.

Sunday: Chest/Tris
Monday: Legs/Biceps
Tuesday:Chest/Shoulders
Wednesday:Back/Biceps
Thursday:Chest/Triceps
Friday: Back/Legs/Shoulders...Sometimes do a few sets of Bis to get a pump
Saturday: off-day

I realize I am working chest 3x a week. Reason: Every other muscle gets worked everyday, biceps are worked when you pick something up. back is worked when you bend over. but chest doesnt really ever get an isolated work everyday. Also, since putting chest in there 3x a week I have seen good results on my pecs.

My Leg issue...As you will see Friday I workout three LARGE groups...I have somewhat bad knees that back it difficult for me to really have a hardcore leg workout. I do calf raises, leg presses but squats are to harsh on my knees.

Anyways, critique away....But I am hoping for ideas that can keep me working out 6 days a week.

My overall goal is simply to add muscle and lower BF.

Weight: 192
Height: 6'

Bench: 190

I feel the same way as you. I hate not working out. I'm always so pysched to hit the gym. I love benching which is why I do it three times a week and I have also had very good results this past 2 weeks I've added 20 pounds to my bench max after doing it three times a week. The way you have your days split seems to be alright. What are the reps, sets, and exercises you plan to do on each day.

Old Lifts: Bench-335, Squat-455, Deadlift-495
New lifts: Bench-375, Squat-545, Deadlift- 585

Having no squat in there is a big no no should try to find a way to make that knee thing go away and squat soon.

No squats in there you better have deadlifts in there!!!

I guess I could try the squat machine at the gym...and just do very light weight and just keep going up until it hurts, then take it down a notch.
 
 
Leg_Beast....My reps are in the range of 3 sets with 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps. Weight is heavy, but obviously not the heaviest I can go otherwise i'd bring down the reps to 8-6-4.

Thats a pretty good rep range for both strength and size. I didn't see that you weren't doing squats. You should definitely try and make sure you have deadlifts like felony said. Bench,deadlifts, and squats are the best exercises you can do, remember that.

Nah don't do the squat machine that will mess you up more- it needs to be correctly done free weight squat parallel or lower. If you got injured before it's because you wasn't doing it right. I had a issue too and stopped for a bit but got back on it but lower the weight alot and just kept improving my flexibility. Try to do the squat stretch and hold it for like 30 seconds at least for 3 sets. If you can't even hold it then you need to work on it alot.

False....He is giving all the muscle's he works out at least 48 hours rest period..A muscle NEEDS at least 48 hours of full rest before it is worked out again. He is technically not over training. You can workout 6 days even 7 days a week as long as you diet is good and you getting plenty plenty of rest.
 
The only thing I see a problem would be your Friday and Thursday workout....You work Chest on Thursdays but then on Friday you workout Shoulders. Shoulders get a little use during Chest days so that could be over doing that area a ltitle. however, if it is working for you then keep it up! Just eat a lot and get plenty of rest.
