Only other thing is that I wouldn't train bi's and back on consecutive days, as it'll limit your movements on your back day. Could group the bi's with back and tris with chest, then train shoulders separately?

Welcome by the way :)

Welcome Mark ;)

As KP says, Deadlifts and squats should be in there.

I would also change the db press to Arnie press since your already doing Smith press.

Ollie, Im pretty sure he has a rest day between his workouts...2 days if they fall between weekends, so theres no consecutive days where back, then biceps are being hit.

Sorry yeah I missed that.

I think you should mix up your pressing a bit - flat bench doesn't really give much "bang for your buck" in my opinion. I'd swap for dumbbells and throw in some dips for one of your pressing movements ;)

Welcome mate ,

Squats needed if you can do them.
Deadlifts - good stuff but I could never do them properly

If you struggle with form on T bar rows try DB rows which are easier as you donts have to worry as much about form .

You Dalry boys like getting on each others backs for donkey calfs. Might have to come over for a homoerotic training session some time. ;)
