This is my present routine:
Monday: Chest Biceps
Tuesday: Back Triceps
Wednesday: Legs Shoulders
Thursday: Off
Friday: Chest Biceps
Saturday: Back Triceps
Sunday: Off(is not open on Sunday)
Then do on Moday Legs Shoulders Tuesday Chest Biceps and so on....

I tried to do Chest Triceps and Back Biceps but i don`t like it because I loose my energy when i`m at triceps and biceps
I also tried to do on Monday Chest Biceps Tuesday Legs Shoulders and Wenesday Arms but it was to much loud on my arms.
I`m 16 years old and working out for about 5-6 months now I eat as clean as I can / every night I eat fruits.
Any Tips/Tricks/How to`s on how to improve my gym routine ? Cheesy

Your body doesn't have that much time to recover from its workout because you have workouts at M,T,W then 1 day rest and then 2 days of workout again. I think that's a bit to much. I suggest you fit it into lets say:

Monday: Chest Biceps + Cardio
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Back Triceps + Cardio
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Legs Shoulders + Cardio
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: Cardio

I think this is good since you won't cause that much exhaustion to your body.

Pick from on wolf's 21 workouts.  The problem with your workout is muscle overlap.  You are working both tris 3 days in a row and bis two days in a row.  Working chest with various presses also involve your tris and if you are doing presses for your shoulders your tris are also getting hit.  Doing rows, pullups and chins do hit the bis.

Try parkour, or some other sport. Gym cardio is boring, I know.
And you don't need do it every day, 2 times a week is good if you don't want lose fat.

Your body needs to recover and you should try to work major muscles first. In the routine you posted you do bi's before back so your not going to get the most out of your back day. here are a few other options you could try

Chest-tri
rest/cardio
back-bi
rest/cardio
legs-shoulder
rest/cardio
or

legs-shoulder
rest/cardio
back-tri
rest/cardio
chest-bi
rest-cardio

Try to space shoulders and chest and bi's and back appart. just my 0.02

Sorry for late replay
I think i will keep this one for the summer:
legs-shoulder
cardio
back-tri
cardio
chest-bi
cardio
Until then I will stick to my current routine despite the fact that it`s to overloaded.
Another question:In cardio day can I do 2 sets of cardio / day ? One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
