I have been doing one bodypart a week for 6 months. Each day doing many exercises for 4 sets of 6.(sometimes 10 exercises!)
I am trying something new...
Today I did shoulders and biceps.
Shoulders: (Of course upping the weight each time)
Dbell shoulder press- 15,12,10,8,6
Side lateral raise- 15,12,10,8,6
Dbell Front raise- 15,12,10,8,6
Biceps: EZ-bar curl- 15,12,10,8,6
Ez-bar reverse 15,12,10,8,6
Hammer curl- 15,12,10,8,6

This is a monday workout.
Tuesday is Legs.
Wednesday is break.
Thursday is chest and Tri's
Friday is back and traps.
Weekend is break.

Can you please give me some suggestions on what I am doing as of now.
(I changed my workout for something new) By the way I got a better pump today then I did in the 6 months, thanks for reading this!
 
something that I have learned (and read) is that your body is going to adapt to any kind of training stimulus that you give it in about 6 workouts. So you need to change it up more often. Do that and you will not have this terrible feeling of going nowhere.

I like to switch between high and low reps every five or six weeks. For example I was doing 5x5 on the bench for the last month and now that I have conquered that weight I am going to switch to some volume training that involves less weight and more reps with less rest. ( I am not talking about dainty light weights either) more like 70-75% 1RM.

Agreed. Press 95 lbs. 200 times and you'll get a real nice pump. Cut down the exercises/reps man..
Exercises and reps???? I went from 10 to 3?
 
Make solid, steady progress on a few core lifts.

Squat, bench, OHP, row, chinup. If you lift more on those in six months, while eating enough, you'll be bigger. Done and done.

If you're gonna lift 3 exercises for just your biceps (worthless muscles to spend time on in the first place) how many will you do for your chest, or your legs? 6? 10? There has to be some proportion to your workout. Stay away from the E-Z curl bar..it's worthless. Kill your ego and use a real (oly) bar with less plates on it.

Can anyone verify this statement? Ez bar is shit? Hmm, I disagree, nothing to do with ego.
 
It doesn't matter what bar you curl with. There's no difference. Use the EZ bar if you insist. The point you're missing is that you should be worrying about chinups and rows for your bicep development. Throw in one exercise for a couple sets once a week to directly work the biceps (say 3x12-15 for curls on Friday). Let the rest of your bicep work come from weighted chinups and rows.
