day1: biceps/triceps. day2: pecs/shoulders. these are the only 4 things im concentrating on for now. i just wanna know if this is ok. also, are u supposed to let ur muscles rest for one day or 2 days? i keep hearing diff answers. and for some reason after i work out i dont get soar yet im getting stronger. ive been working out for a little over a month and when i started i was curling 15's but now im in the transition to 25's. is there something wrong?

looks good...may stress the biceps and triceps, though, because you pretty much use them all the time just dont do the same muscle groups 2 days in a row, this looks ok

What is your aim exactly?

From the looks of it you're going to have a pretty short workout. How many days a week will you be training?

Seriously, everyone likes to skip the leg excercises. Build up their torsoes and have twigs for legs.

Make sure you give your muscles time to rebuild themselves, so don't workout if your mega sore which you probably will be if you are only working these muscle groups every other day. Also don't train any 2 main muscle groups in one day.

I know that i didnt worry about legs either but apparently if you do leg exercises it builds up more testosterone and will help you get bigger aswell

If you aren't sore after working out (or the next day), you aren't really working out...

I personally do a 60-80-3 workout, which is 60 push-ups, 80 sit-ups and a 3 mile run, each and every day.

If you want to get the most out of your exercising routine, it's best you incorporate a full body workout which will make every major muscle group in your body get toned and/or larger. It's best you do some sort of leg exercise, it being something as simple as running each day.

I would recommend you take a break in order to give your muscles time to repair themselves and also so that you don't over-train and feel exhausted. It will probably do you better in the long run.

Monday: workout 1

Tuesday: workout 2

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: workout 1

Friday: workout 2

Saturday: rest

Sunday: rest

Here's what you need to do:

Rotation 1: Chest and arms

Rotation 2: shoulder and back

Rotation 3: legs

Do cardio and abs for each rotation, and dont forget to drink your protein drinks.

Pain is a build up of lactic acid in most cases, and light excercising/a warm down get's rid of it. Excersising over that pain is what you should do. Correct me if I am wrong.

If you get cramp you haven't warmed down properly.

thats a horrible schedule. Your supposed to do triceps with chest and shoulder seperate. If its areally good workout it takes up to 3 days to recover and you arent even doing legs or back.. You need to seriously start a real routine like the 5x5 or riptoe, do some research on bodybuilding.com.

It's true, pick up a Men's Health/Fitness and you would know this.

To the OP, that is a terrible workout schedule.

Your workout schedule should be something like

Day1: Back and Bi's and Abs
Day2: Chest and Tri's
Day3:Shoulders and Legs
Day4:Rest and Abs
Day5:Back and Bi's
Day6:Chest and Tri's and abs
Day7:Shoulder and Legs
Day8:Rest and Abs

Rinse and Repeat. Now depending on what your overall goals are you need to add or subtract cardio, supersets, dropsets, and determine what volume and intesity you need to workout at. All this goes way beyond the scope of my simple post.

The way i told you is the way you should do it. That is what my personal trainer told me to do. Do chest with arms, and shoulder with back. pull-ups are fine for when you do your arm/chest rotation because both groups are worked.
