    **Chest**
    Incline DB bench presses
    Flat bench presses
    Dips/or decline presses
    Cable Crossovers or Pec Deck flyes (strip set to failure)

    **Biceps**
    Barbell Curls
    Hammer Curls
    Cable Curls (strip set to failure)

    **Triceps**
    EZ Bar skull krushers
    Machine extentions
    Rope pressdowns (strip set to failure)

    **Shoulders**
    Front DB raises
    Side lateral raises
    Bent over rear cable raises

    **Back**
    Lat Pulldowns/or Chins
    Cable rows/or Bent over rows if you wanna go with free weights
    Shrugs (DB or Barbell)

    **Legs**
    Squats
    Hack Squats
    Lying Leg Curls (2 sets)
    Seated Leg Curls (2 sets)
    Calf Raises
    Leg Extensions

    **Forearms**
    Behind the back wrist curls (overhand grip a barbell hanging down behind your back with some weight one it and curl upwards with your wrists and go for probably 2 sets of 15 reps)
    Reverse DB wrist curls (use a flat bench and hang your hand over the edge, arm flat on the bench and with an overhand grip and curl upwards)

    **Abs**
    Crunch machine (with as much weight as you can handle for 2 sets of 20-25 reps)
    Decline sit-ups (medicine ball/DB's/or a plate, whatever you feel most comfortable with)
    Ab rotator machine for obliques (not sure what its called exactly but you sit in it and twist side to side for a set then switch it over to the other side)

    Thats basically the workout plan I'm on right now minus a couple of things since I dont know how crazy you wanna get with it, my training split is like this:

    **Monday**
    Chest/Triceps
    Ab work

    **Tuesday**
    Back/Biceps

    **Wenesday**

    Either off or Ab work

    **Thursday**
    Legs/shoulders

    **Friday**
    Biceps/Triceps/Forearms
    Light Ab work

    Hope that helped.

    Couple of questions, first im assuming DB is dumbbell? Next what do you mean strip set to failure?

    And whats:
    Cable Crossovers or Pec Deck flyes
    Hammer Curls
    Cable Curls
    EZ Bar skull krushers
    Hack Squats

    I probably know what those are but maybe by a different name, thats why im not recognizing them.

    Also is "Cable rows/or Bent over rows" the one where you have one leg on the ground, one knee on the bench and your torso is parallel to the ground and you pull up the weight with one arm?

    But thats alot of good info thanks +1 !!

    Yep, DB is dumbbell. Strip set to failure is basically just like pyramiding except you should only do it at the end of the workout, I'll use the cable Preacher curl as an example. After I'm done with my Back/Bis workout I'll go to the cable preacher bench start with 120-140lbs. then go til I cant curl it again, then strip off about 30 pounds curl til I can't get another rep, strip off another 20-30lbs and so on until I stripped down to about 30-40lbs. Get a pump like you wouldnt believe.

    Cable Crossover

    Cable Curl I use a D-Handle attatchment for this though and do one arm at a time.
    EZ Bar Skulls
    Hack Squat
    Bent over rear laterals Can be done either with DB's or the cables, the lower set not the same ones as with Cable crossovers.

    Oh and I forgot to add Military Presses for the shoulder workout.
    Military Press
