Is this a bad routine? Im 14 year old and about 122 pounds and 5'6 if that means anything and was wondering if you guys could add anything anywhere on my workout or make any suggestions for anything.

Take a look down the page at the threads started by The New Guy. Most of what's been said about his bodypart-per-day split would apply to your routine as well. If you're just getting started, Mark Rippetoe's program for new lifters would be a good choice; someone just started a journal that you can take a look at for the layout. Also, reading through the starred sections on the following site (if not the whole thing) would provide a good overview of training theory that should serve you well:

Welcome to the boards.

EDIT: That new journal doesn't have the layout in it. Here's a thread that does:

I would agree that you should look around for a bit. Thats a very bad routine IMO since you have no work for your back or shoulders.

What about your back? Shoulders? whats up with that, you need to do all of it

I totally agree. When I switched form a 5 day a week, one body part a day workout, to 3 days a week of traing to true failure - not traing 1 bodypart twice in one week - lower rep ranges and real heavy weights (at least they are heavy for me).Form is still as important - as I failed miserably today on. Getting used to a new workout - especially if you have not been doing back or shoulders, will be hard but well worth it. Good luck
