How long have you been training?

Have you ever tried a full body routine?

What is your nutrition?

your biceps don't need a whole day to themselves, especially not 2 whole days. They get worked well enough when you train back so you are effectively training your bi's 4x a week which is far too much - where's your leg and shoulder days?

It is not to much, but it isn't good.
1. No legs
2. 2 full days just for biceps
3. No legs
4. combine back and biceps
5. No legs
6. Try a full body since your new to lifting..look up starting strength, it's an awesome book and a good beginner routine.
7. No legs
Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

You need to read the stickies around the site. Less = more. Muscles aren't built in the gym. Read the stickies as they'll give you more information than anyone can give in reply to this topic.

Stop giving biceps their own day - Training biceps lots doesn't equal big biceps

Do squats and lunges for legs - far better than any machine

There's no point doing 2 lots of bent over rows - put deadlifts and chinups on your back day, both better than any other exercises.

Also no point in having OH press aswell as arnold press - put some lateral raises in there and mix it up with other directional exercises

Also add in good mornings. Any westside barbell member would agree that they are one of the most beneficial exercises for your entire backside.
