Great job on the bench

Seems like a variation of arnolds newbie workouts. This is not a three day split, it's a six day split.

* 32-34 sets is just waaay too much if you're new to the gym, cut it down by at least 10 sets per workout. Keep the workouts around an hour.
* Don't deadlift on every day you workout, I don't know how heavy weights you lift right now, but I'm having trouble lifiting all out on the deadlifts once a week.
* Get some rows in there for the back
* Get in some leg work, squats, sldl and calves raises. Puny legs look awful on developed over body.
* Get in some more rest days to your split.
* and read diesel's bulking guide.

As for legs, I'm going to start workin with my brother (experienced lifter) on a leg regimine for myself.

- as for how heavy im lifting:

1RM benchpress - 185lbs
1RM deadlift - 270lbs
1RM clean and press - 150ish lbs
Lifting on and off for 12 months, but only seriously in the past two months. I'm 16.5 years old
