I think this would be better.

Pull
Deadlift
DB or BB Rows
Chins
EZ Curls

Push
Flat BB Bench
Military Press
Dips or Incline DB Press
CGBP or Skull Crushers

Legs
BB Squat
Straight Back SLDL
Lunges or Leg Press
Calf Raises & something for abs

Push/Pull/Legs is essentially doing the same sort of movement in one workout, so Biceps after Back etc... Its a simple routine, and can be very effective.

I second this guys opinion. Pull Push is a solid way of organising bodyparts for your routine. No-nonsense approach to hitting some hard and heavy compunds for good growth.

Sure:

DB or BB Rows - Dumbell or Barbell Rows for back

Push
Flat BB Bench - A flat Barbell bench press -
Military Press - A standing Barbell Press -
Dips - Dips for chest between parallel bars are like so -
Incline DB Press -Incline Dumbell Press for chest -
CGBP - Close grip Bench Press - Like a standard barbell bench with your hand spaced from 6" to shoulder width apart. Elbows tucked in

Skull Crushers - Lying tricep extension bu lowering the bar to your head, elbows in and upper arms fixed bending only at the elbows

Legs
BB Squat - Back Barbell Squat -
Straight Back SLDL - Stiff legged deadlifts, hard one to describe, you need to google this 1.

Hi SavageJ,

You should not need any other isolations other than those listed. Pull Push legs' beauty is it's simplicity and it's no nonsense approach.

I can gaurantee you that if you apply yourself to the routine listed, you will leave the gym a broken man

No problems Mooperman,

I didnt go into a great deal of detail as i suspected you probably knew most and that it was the abbreviations which caused the problems.

~Best of luck

Those images are pretty good for quick reference in posts.

Yep. Thats how I do mine. That way, your lower back and legs recover from Deadlifts before you do Squats, and vice-versa. Plus, if you do Mon/Wed/Fri, you can have the weekend off to rest.
No need for any more isolations, that routine pretty much covers everything.

Glad to help, stick with it.
