Hm, having split trouble...

Training

Day I
-----
Quads: Squat
Hamstrings: Leg Curl
Quads: Leg Extenions
Calves: Heel Raises
Shins: Toe Raises
Triceps: Extensions
Biceps: Curls
Forearms: Wrist Curls
Forearms: Reverse Wrist Curls

Day II
------
Chest: Bench Press
Back: Yates Row
Deltoids: Military Press
Lats: Pull-Ups
Traps: Shrugs

Daily
-------
Abs: Crunches
Hip Flexors: Leg Raises

Intensity: 75% RM
Frequency: 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off
Sets: 3
Reps: 8-12

Does this all workout, or should I change something? I have a feeling I should switch the tricep extensions to Day II because they're getting worked two days in a row. But, Yates Row uses biceps too, so should I move that to Day II also?
 
1. IMO, Legs, back and chest should each have their own gym days.

2. Abs do not need daily work. They need rest/recovery time just like any other muscle. 2 days/wk tops.

3. How does one train shins?
 
Well, I forgot the proper name for the muscle around the shin, but since toe raises help to prevent "Shin Splints" I decided to name it a shin workout. Tibialis Anterior, is the proper name, I believe.

I'd prefer to keep my split 2 days as it is, just need to know where to put my exercises, how to divide those up. I assume, by the by, that the exercises lifted generally cover the whole body, and is seen as a good program.

So, can someone help here? Maybe I should cram those tricep/bicep exercises in with the torso exercises on Day II and leave Day I with legs, and forearm training?
 
I'll tell you what everyone else will:

That's excessive, you need to break it down a lot more. Split it into four days, (off/I/II/off/III/IV/off) at the very least, and split it into upper / lower body days if you're intent on doing so many frivolous things, and, oh yeah, cut it down into the basics.

But you're not going to listen, are you?
 
Many might disagree with me but I could not do this routine and give 100%. The tris/bis being use the day before my core pressing and pulling movement would decrease my total strength on core muscles, hence lowering my progress....
