My routine mogs yours.

Day 1: Shoulders/Arms
>OHP: Work up to a plate, then deload.
>Supersets of EZ Bar Curls, Skull Crushers, Lateral Raises
>Supersets of Weighted Dips, Hammer Curls, and Seated DB Press
>Supersets of Cable Curls, Pushdowns, and Front Raises

Day 2: Chest
>Isolateral Incline or Flat (whatever the frick I feel like doing)
>DB Press Incline or Flat (opposite of first set)
>Pullovers
>Pec Dec

Day 3: Back
>BB Rows superset with Weighted Pullups
>Bent Over DB Row
>Hyperextensions
>Might throw in a lat machine or whatever I'm in the mood for

Day 4: Legs
>Stairmaster w/ Weighted Vest for 15-20 minutes
>Leg Curl
>Leg Extension
>Calf Raises

This is a fantastic routine. I can't wait for the copes to come in about how it's "suboptimal" for not including squats, deadlifts, or flat bench because Rippetoe said so. I hit all muscle groups and exhaust them, then go home and eat big. Thus, my muscles are growing despite not including them, and I do exercises I enjoy.

    whatever you like doing is good 🙂
    however pullovers as a back exercise mog pullovers as a chest exercise, try tweaking your form a bit so it uses your lats more than your chest and you will see the power

          >too much arms
          Thing is, if you look at mine you will see there is more volume on arms/shoulder day. That's because the arm and shoulder pump is when I feel the best about my body, so I like going as hard as I can when I'm in there. It's not some fitness error I'm making.

            my favourite lifts are barbell curl and OHP so i focus on getting better at them
            /fit/ness is an individual journey that should be tailored towards achieving what you wish to achieve
            there is nothing wrong with being a powerlifter
            there is nothing wrong with being a cardio only runner
            there is nothing wrong with being a curlbro

          Mine is like that, but instead I hit legs more.
          For whatever genetic reason, my arms and legs are very muscular, and put on muscle faster than the rest of my body, core and upper.
          I've always been satisfied with my arms, but the leg pump and high is a thrill. So I squat and deadlift often, because it's fun and I feel like a lifting machine with a leg pump.

      Adding another day or two is pointless and sacrifices what little precious free time I have having to maintain work, social life, girlfriend, etc.

        No, volume and frequency are the key to hypertrophy.

          I don't care what the latest fitness autism studies suggest. Do you think "volume" "frequency" and "hypertrophy" would even register as concepts to people like the ancient Greeks, who despite not having advanced scientific "studies" proving the most optimal ways to build muscle, still were able to build a solid physique? It was never supposed to be this way. Trying to have the most optimal routine was the biggest mistake I've ever made on my fitness journey, and it burned me out and made me hate lifting after a while. When I flipped my mentality and decided to exercise for the sake of excellence alone, just like the Greeks did, my love for lifting immediately came back and my body dysmorphia cleared up as well.

                hitting muscle groups 2x/week is great for hypertrophy. Though, understandably, its difficult to be going to the gym 5-6x/week with a date-happy gf and social life/friends, things 3/4 of the posters here lack and fail to comprehend the implication of. But still, more volume is objectively better for putting on musculature.

    I plan to run a 6 day upper/lower in the future with bench, OHP, weighted pull ups, squat, deadlift and farmer's walks as main lifts. Hope it works out well.

    I guess your routine would mog mine but I wouldn't want to be doing all that and prefer training the same way every day.

    >3 sets dumbbell swings to failure
    >3 sets push ups to failure
    >3 sets sit ups to failure
    >3 sets curl variations to failure
    and less frequently
    >arnold presses
    >leg raises
    >lu raises
    >planks

    I cycle 5 miles a day with hills so I don't do any extra legs or cardio.

    your back day is a fricking shambles m8. Hyperextensions are for your grandma who cant get low enough to pick a bar up.

    also: you have 10 excercises one day and 4-5 the rest, that's just fricking goofy.

    Double also: 2x a week grows faster than 1x. main defect of these bro splits.
