Looks good so far. Normally you would have 3 workouts a, b and c. I've seen the statics done two ways: directly after the last rep and on a different set altogether, I do them on the last rep (it hurts more). Only other suggestions is to focus most on the eccentric portion of the movements because that's what will tear down the muscle and make you grow, lastly eat alot and always be consistent. Good Luck.

What do you mean 3 workouts? I do a Monday Wednesday Friday monday routine.... Is that what you mean? 3 days per week.

There are six different workouts. You split your body into two different workouts and then come up with three workouts for each split. Then those are performed alternating M, W, F.

Chest - Dips
Shoulders - Dumbell Military
Back Thickness - Floor Deadlifts
Back Width - Pulldowns
Triceps - Smith Close Grip Bench

Workout #2 (weds)
Quads - Squats
Hams - Lying Leg Curl
Calves - Leg Press Calf Raise
Biceps - Barbell Curl
Forearms - Hammer Curl

Workout #3 (fri)
Chest - Flat Barbell Bench
Shoulders - Hammer Military
Back Thickness - T-Bar
Back Width - Pullups
Triceps - Skull Crusher

Workout #4 (mon)
Quads - Leg Press
Hams - Stiff Leg Deadlifts
Calves - Standing Calf Raise
Biceps - Dumbell Curls
Forearms - Reverse Grip Curls

Badfish why are you doing
1)Cable pressdowns
2)Quads first on B day
3) Triceps last on A day
4)Back thickness before width
5) Standing leg curls(each leg must be done seperately)

How do you do a static on DB presses? There's no resistance in the top, unless you don't lock out, and then my arms would give out, lol.

I go until I can't get another complete rep then my training partner helps me bring it back up, then I hold it their until it drops.

first of all, your order is all wrong. it goes day 1 - chest, shoulders, triceps, back width, back thickess
day 2 - biceps, forearms, calves, hams, quads (followed by a quad widowmaker)

don't change up the order because it has been proven time and time again to work. just do dc as it is prescribed.
