Help designing a workout

So what I have posted has been too compilcated? Just want to know for my own benifit, because I like it but everyone here shot it down in flames which tells me I have a lot to learn until I can confidently write a decent exercise prescription.
 
What you have posted shows no understanding. You need to go educate yourself if you want to prescribe exercise otherwise follow a good coaches plan, there are many out there.
 
That's all good I didn't see it as harsh I can see where your coming from, I'm guessing there are a heap of similar threads

I did not see that sorry, thanks if I had read it I would have come to that conclusion a week ago

Terrible program and sort your diet out before you worry about supplements.

Like others said do the beginner program here.
Diet is pretty hard still live at home, but I really need to sit down determine my macronutrient breakdown and figure out what calorie deficiet I should use that works well with my training and allows me to work

How so? A friend swears by the last one I posted, I just wanted to know if it was a good program, what are its shortfalls?

Can someone please tell me whats wrong with this?
 
Just fucking do it then. People have told you over and over that it's a shit program for a beginner but your obviously hanging out for someone to tell you its ok no matter what everyone says.

Doing this is better than nothing but there are far better programs which have been suggested.
 
That's not right, I want to know its downfalls so when it gets to the stage I need to change my program I can confidently write my own and not have to make more threads like this for now I'm doing the beginners program here
 
The basics of it are as a beginner you want to do full body workouts hitting the main exercises each time to take advantage of the noob gains to get stronger and build muscle fast.

A full body workout will do that much better than a split workout with heaps of isolation exercises doing each body part only once a week.
 
The problem is you need to squat more often than once every 8 days. Deadlifts are missing. They are a champion mass builder.

Also you have no calf exercise on back / calf day.
 
Train exercises not body parts.

Bench, row squat
Off
Pull up, press, Deadlifts
Off
Assistance
Off
Repeat
 
Standing and seated calf raises we're supposed to be in there

So when would a weekly split like this be beneficial?
 
When you're a huge mass monster and you require huge volume on which case you would add more sets so in your case and most others probably never.
 
Roids lol....

Assistance - calves, some arm work, Hammies and any weakness you may want to work on.
I work on shoulders so I do some dumbbell raises. See my log for tonight's assistance workout.

You are asking about hypertrophy specific programs & then you say the above.

You require a calorie surplus for hypertrophy.
