    Hi All,

    Weight Lifting over the past 2 years now and my goal is mass gain (hypertrophy)

    Stats:

    Height: 6'1"
    Weight: ~188lbs
    BF%: ~15%

    I am pretty much getting my ~188g of protein per day, even excess some days, (although my diet could be better it certainly has improved)

    Below is my workout routine. Comments/criticisms welcomed!:)

    Monday - Chest

    Incline Dumbell Press (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Flat Barbell Bench Press (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Chest Dips (3 Sets to Failure)

    Incline Dumbell Flyes (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Cable Cross Overs (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)



    Tuesday - Back

    Wide Grip Pull Ups (4 Sets 6-10 Reps)

    Deadlift (5 Sets 5 Reps)

    Bent Over Barbell Row (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Bent Over Reverse Flyes (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Close Grip Pull Down (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)



    Wednesday - Shoulders

    Smith Machine Shoulder Press (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Dumbell Overhead Press (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Dumbell Lat Raise (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Barbell Front Raise (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Barbell Upright Row (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Dumbell Shrugs (2 Sets 10 Reps)



    Thursday - Rest



    Friday - Arms

    Chin Ups (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Wide Grip Barbell Curl (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Incline Barbell Hammer Curl (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Close Grip Bench Press (3 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Weighted Bench Dips (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    1 Arm Overhead Extension (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)



    Saturday - Legs

    Squat (5 Sets 5 Reps)

    Leg Press Machine (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Stiff Legged Deadlift (4 Sets 6-8 Reps)

    Leg Curl (4 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Leg Extension (4 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Seated Calf Raise (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)

    Standing Calf Raise (3 Sets 8-10 Reps)



    Sunday - Rest



    I have been following the above routine for about 6 weeks and have seen gains from it, however I should mention that I feel my chest is lagging behind other muscle groups in particular. I realise this might be very likely due to my diet (which I am working on) but from a training point of view how is my workout?

    Feedback greatly appreciated!
