rate my routine! Could i improve it?

Hi,

I am hoping that this routine is going to help me gain! i am hoping  that this routine spaces each muscle group out enough for each group to recover. What do you think?

Monday - Back, Bicepts and abs
Wednesday - Chest and Tricepts
Friday - Shoulders, legs and abs
Sunday - Swimming Breast stroke & front crawl (as my cardio day)

Am i leaving each group long enough to recover? Could i improve this to benefit more?

Cheers

yes there is enough time to recover.

Not sure why biceps and triceps have t's in them though lol.

What are your goals, youre saying youre hoping to gain, what size or gain in strength etc etc.

Also what exercises are you selecting, its all good having a decent split but exercises are just as important as is getting your diet checked.

I agree. How do you train your abs? Do u use weights? or a ball? a matt? all of the above?

haha im not sure where those t's came from.

My goal is to get bigger aswell as toned. Strength isnt so much a issue.

At the minute i am liturally doing two sets on my abs of 20 standard sit ups (legs flat). These are however on a inclined bench of about 40 degrees. It burns!.

Do you think i should be doing less reps but use a wighted ball?

Im a serious nub and any advice on getting my workout perfected would be greatly appreciated!

What exercises, and how many sets and reps do you do for each body part mate?   

2 Things, if your goal is to get bigger, i.e bulk then focus on that.  Getting "toned" is a non existent word in training.   AS your muscles get bigger and harden you will see more seperation between groups.    Once you have had a decent bulk adding some solid muslce, all through out winter would be a decent time scale, then focus on losing the extra fat, which you always gain with a bulk, and focusing on getting your six pack stomach.

looks good

My body is like a Walking Chemical Factory.
