Need help with Workout Routine!!!

[tazkenwood]

Hello

I started lifting weights about 3 mouths ago, at 1st I started to hurt but know I don't. I have looked on-line and they say to change when workout, but I don’t know how to do this what worries me the most is dropping something good...
HELP!!!
Its 5 days a week and I like to do one Muscle group a day, is that good for me to do?
Here is my workout routine now I don’t did it in this order every week, I switch it up now and then. (Each one has 4 sets 12 reps 10 reps 8 reps 6 reps)

Day 2: Chest
20 mins cardio, Bench press, Incline bench press, Decline bench, Dips, DB butterfly, Butterfly machine, Cable crossover, Upward Cable Fly..

Day 3: Back
20 mins cardio, Lat Pulldown, Cable Pulley, Chin-ups, BB Row, TB Row, back exts, ABs on ball, abs on bench.

Day 4: legs
20 mins cardio, Hamstrings, Leg exts, claves, Leg push, Dead lifts, ABs on ball, Abs on bench...

Day 5: Arms
20 mins cardio, EZ curl, Rope Pulley, Standing BB curl, Skull crushers, standing DB curls, Pushdowns, Seating Curls, Kickbacks....

Also taking protein shakes one in the morning and one after my workout and NO xplode...

Any help would be a big help getting kind of losted...

"Hurt" doesn't mean anything. Sore doesn't mean anything.

Your routine is pretty bad. You need to add legs/deadlifting work and really parse the whole thing down. Look up Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe, that will be a good starting place for you, based on the shakes you're taking I'm assuming you're looking to get bigger.

hey kosh

What do you mean by my routine is pretty bad?
and when u say add leg/deadlifting work, I thought I did??(day4)

Sorry if i sound like a noob...

I'll have a look at this Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe...

Hrm. You did. Good call. Missed that. I only saw four days earlier and that wasn't one of them. My fault there.

You're doing a ton of extra exercises that aren't necessary is what I meant by routine is pretty bad. Since you want to add mass (I'm assuming based on supplements) you may want to add cardio at the end of the workout and I would do cardio 2-3 times a week rather than every lifting day.

If you want to add mass/strength, Starting Strength is the way to go.

Hey
Thanks for the help, so I should shorten my routines up, right.
One more thing, should I keep doing the same things each week or should I do 4 chest one week then 4 new chest the next week, then back to the 1st 4 chest that I did on the 1st week? ( not just chest but all )
And yes I'm trying to get mass, but I was told that shape will come to, is that right?

[KoSh]

Go with Starting Strength. It's a routine and a good one for mass/strength, especially for someone somewhat new to the lifting game. Follow that to a tee. Shape will come assuming your diet is on point. Go read the Diet/Nutrition Forum for information on that. Tons of valuable information around here. :)

Thankd again
