rookies-
Day-1 chest/back
Day-2 rest
Day-3 shoulders/triceps
Day-4 rest
Day-5 legs/biceps
Day-6 rest

... Okay bro with your split I would switch days 5 & 3 and then switch 5 and 4. So your split looks like this..

1 chest/back
2 rest
3 legs/biceps
4 delts/triceps
5 rest
6 rest

... This was youre spacing out your chest and delt/tri workouts. This way your delts and tris will have more time to recover from your training sessions.

chest
flat bench press 3x6-8
incline bench press 3x6-8
flat DB flys 3x6-8

... I would drop the incline press. Inclines are too much of your front delts and not enough of your pecs. I used to swear by them but finally I learned that there are better choices, like dips. I would go with flat BB or flat DB first, 2-3 intense sets, weighted dips (be sure to lean forward and flare your elbows out to the sides), 2-3 intense sets, and finish with a few sets of heavy flat DB flyes.

back
deadlift 3x6-8
V-bar pulldown 3x10
DB bent over row 3x8

... This looks good to me. Maybe try some pull-ups though rather than pulldowns but if your a rookie chances are youre going to struggle with regular chins.

shoulders
military press 3x6-8
seated DB press 3x6-8
lateral raise 3x8

... I would drop one of the overhead presses. Thats starting to get redundant. Only one press is necessary. Maybe alternate with a BB and DB every other week. Around 6 total sets for delts.

triceps
close grip bench press 3x6-8
french press 3x6-8
kick back 3x6-8

... Too much volume here bro. Drop one of the exercises. I would drop the CG bench. Stick with french presses and kickbacks. 2 sets each. Coming out to 4 intense sets for triceps.

legs
squat 3x6-8
step-up 3x6-8
calf raise 3x20

... Drop the step ups and include some kind of hamstring work. Like stiff legged deads or leg curls. Everything else looks good.

biceps
barbell curl 3x6-8
hammer curl 3x6-8

... Looks good. I would do 2 sets each but oh well.

I don't think you need much help at all.You're following a training day with a rest day which is a perfect format for a beginner, especially if your main concern is weight gain.The only real problem I see is no direct hamstring work.You might want to try to add in some romanian or stiff-legged deads, good mornings or hamstring curls.Any of those will hit the hams.Other than that, your program looks solid.

Monstar said pretty much everything you needed to hear. The only difference for me is that I would recommend pushdowns over kickbacks, but it's a personal thing.
Pushdowns work great for me, but I don't know how they work for you.

Good Luck

Oh ya, nice advice monstar

Goin_Big-
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Yeah I like pressdowns over kickbacks too. But I think its more of a personal thing.
