PJR pullover,6sets
Incline offset grip db curl 4sets
Seated Lateral raises/Push press 4sets
Swiss ball crunches done at the end or sometimes in between sets.

so you work your upper body 3 consecutive days, then you work your lower body for two days after that then you work your upper body for 2 more days.
so basically you do 5 upperbody workouts consecutively and work the same muscles every day?

I noticed that i wrote it wrong,i will edit my first post.
it should look like this :
Day one lower body.
day 2-3-4,upperbody.
Day day 5,lower body
day 6-7 upperbody.
All you do for legs is the leg press? Why are chins on lower body day. And who gave you the idea to workout like this?

Thx for the reply,i am thinking of adding db squats instead of leg presses but i keep hearing that squatting thickens the waist.is. this true?.the reason i workout like this is to recover faster while hitting the muscles more frequently.what do u suggest?
before i give you advice i want to get the facts straight.
so on every upper body day you do these exercises:
Db incline press/incline power flies,6sets.
db Chest supported rows,6sets
PJR pullover,6sets
Incline offset grip db curl 4sets
Seated Lateral raises/Push press 4sets
Swiss ball crunches done at the end or sometimes in between sets.

Yes exactly,btw i do chins on lower body day coz it hits many parts and is good for back and arms
I have two splits but not sure which one is better:
Option A: Back/Biceps/Legs and Chest/Delts/Triceps
Or
Option B; Back/Chest/Delts and Legs/Triceps/Biceps

with all due respect - this program looks awful
but instead of just slating your prgram we need to get a few things straight.
What are your goals?
size, strength, sports specific, functional strength etc…
we really need to establish this before anyone starts giving you advice on programs.
