XccrX13 Mon....Chest and Triceps Bench Press---- 3 sets 10 reps Dumbell Flys---3sets 10 reps Pushups---------3sets of 40 Dips--------------3sets 50 reps Cable Tricep Extentions----3sets 10 reps Dumbell One Arm Tricep Extention---- 3sets 10 reps Skull Crushers------2 Sets 12 reps Drop the flys and throw in some incline press. I don't really like all the pushups and dips, they seem like they would just wear you out. Throw in some weighted dips instead and drop the reps much lower. You have too many isolations for the triceps. Just do one if you have to, you would be better off with a compound like cgbp or rgbp and maybe one or two sets of extensions after. WED......Back and Biceps Barbell Row------3 sets 10 reps Deadlifts-----------3 sets 10 reps Dumbell Curls------3 sets 12 reps Barbell Curls------2 sets 12 reps Concentration Curls----3 sets 10 reps Hammer Curls --------2sets 12 reps I like that you are deadlifting but 10 sets of curls? That is overkill for your biceps and they will never benefit from something like that especially if you are a beginner. I would throw in another upper back exercise such as pull ups or low cable rows. Then I would drop 2 of those bicep exercises. FRI......Shoulders and Leg Dumbell Press-----2 sets 12 reps Seated Lateral Raises------2 sets 12 reps Squats--------------3sets 10 reps Lunges-----------2 sets 12 reps Leg Press-------2 sets 12 reps Leg Curls-------2 sets 12 reps Squat first here, it is your most draining exercise so do it when you are 100%. Throw in an exercise or two for your calves. The rest of the day looks decent enough. Cardio----Sun Tues...Thurs.. OFF----saturday Anyway, like we told you before, you would do much better with a beginners routine full of mostly compounds but oh well, you seem to know more than us about what is best. Those are my thoughts on what you posted.

Oh yea, and once you start adapting to the new stresses of working out I would drop your rep range down a bit and use some heavier weight. 10 reps seems a little high.

No, you should have been figuring out why it didn't work. Not going heavy enough? Not making linear progress? Not eating enough? Not resting enough? There's plenty of reasons one can get nowhere even though they are doing the right lifts. You need to assess why your original workout didn't work rather than add in a bunch of isolations.

Drop a Tricep workout and add incline bench On Back day you should do pull ups and drop a bicep workout but ... I think the full body workouts that you were on before would be better.
