would possibly drop a chest exercise (db or bb incline, no point having both really imo - change them every now and agian though) Would also drop preacher curls, the other work on your biceps will/should blow them Also for triceps stick with either rope pushdowns or straight bar pushdowns not both imo. Otherwise pretty solid .

Drop the straight leg deadlift at your stage, you're not likely to have the back strength yet.

Complete noobs should look up Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. There is a book you can get and tonnes of videos you can watch. Mark Rippetoe even watches newbie vids and corrects their form. That is the best routine for noobs by miles. Give it a go and get some good gains.

just been looking at the exercises on youtube to get a good idea on them. the rope pressdowns and straight bar pulldowns. are they virtually the same thing? also noticed there are no ab workouts. when should i add ab's in and what exercises etc?

Thursday - Delts/Triceps Military Press: 1x12, 3x8 Seated DB Press: 3x6 DB Lat Raise/Front Raise Supersets: 2x10/10 Skullcrushers: 1x12, 3x8 Rope Pressdowns: 3x8 dont feel like ive done anything though :(, im struggling to know whether my form is good or im hitting the muscles i should be. also im having to use really light weights as im really light and not that strong. i could feel the rope pull downs hitting the triceps but apart from that not much.

Solid routine but to much chest drop it to Bench Press: 1x20 (warm-up/pre-exhaust), 3x8 Incline DB Press: 3x8 Incline DB Flyes: 3x10
My body is like a Walking Chemical Factory.
