im only 14 so im not going full force weight lifting but i think my workout is acutally pretty good

 

i would do this 

every other day i would work out 2 body parts like 

chest and triceps

3 exercises of chest and 3 exercises of triceps

4 sets each exercise

 

1 week ill do supersets meaning doing regular reps but doing like pushups right after the set

another week is rep week where i lift a little lighter but more reps and 

another week ill do just regular

 

i workout every single body part you name it

My max bench press is 155, maybe 160 now because i tried 155 like 2 weeks ago

i weigh 135 pounds 

and yea i workout 3 times a week i dont work out fridays or sats because i need free time in my life and rest so my body can grow because school is really stressful and fridays and saturdays to chill with friends.

this is a good workout but if you acutally want to gain mass and get stronger you should focus on less parts each day and do more sets of it. if you just want to get toned then your workout plan is fine.
