So far so Good. I take every other Sunday off so that I can give my body a chance to rest.

That's a damn lot of arm work, and twice a week at that! Are you doing multiple sets of each exercise too?

I do three sets for each exercise. I use light weights right now but when school starts back up and I have access to the weight room I will switch to heavier weights and change my sets and reps accordingly.

A few humble suggestions.

If you are gonna do weights more than 3 times a week, a push pull routine or superset might be more appropriate than bodypart based.

Also, group the larger parts earlier in the week, and the smaller later.

No way I would put arms on Monday. You will have pre-exhausted them for their day and may not get a full work on a chest/back.

If you are doing good chest/back work, your arms will take care of themselves.

Besides from an asthetic perspective, your arms will never pop unless your shoulders and chest are tight.

Oh. Instead of Bench Press, try Dive Bombers. They are like Hindu Pushups, but have a second movement. Much more challenging than pushups.

The best examples of dive bombers are in GI Jane. I know horrible movie, but they did their dive bombers right.

Legs? Hindu Squats are good. Lunges are way underrated for men, but they are good stuff. Not just straight ahead, but in every angle. Picture yourself as the center cog of a watch. Go 12/2/10 and back lunges.

Also Jump squats are killer, but make sure you lower yourself so you are on your heels and working the butt, not the quads too much.

One legged squats are good along with one legged stiff deadlifts.

Good luck.
