I'm assuming you are doing each muscle group once per week?

Regardless, I think it's a pretty ridiculous set up.

Can you break this up into what happens on what days and in order? The way it's laid out, it's impossible to tell, unless you're doing them all on the same day (which would be bad). It could use some work either way, but it'll be easier to understand if you show us how you're doing it.

Without knowing your goals, I'd throw the blanket recommendation out to you to organize your training in a way that you train each major muscle group using compound exercises multiple times per week.

Something like the basic 5x5 works fantastic for the novice trainee.

Blasting your muscle using multiple versions of the same exercise with tons of volume and letting it rest for an entire week before training it again is far from optimal.

Can you get results? Anything above and beyond what your body is accustomed to will force it to adapt.

But you have to ask yourself, is what you are currently doing optimal given what I told you above.

ok, well...in brief myy goals are to drop from 230 to about 219 for weight lifting this school year but at the same time get stronger overall to throw shot put and discus for my school with hopes of going to state.

so..would it be ok if i just worked on one muscle group a day using that routein or what?

Thanks

There are just way too many similar exercises here and they're all isolation. It's overkill and inefficient.

3 types of curls, 3 types of flyes, 3 types of bench presses, 4 tricep exercises. All of this is just not necessary and it's not maximizing your time in the gym or your results.

And then squats, front squats, leg press, leg curls, deadlift and lunges? I just can't believe you can give it your all by the end of this.

I would really, really recommend throwing this entire thing away and starting over with a full body workout incorporating squats, deadlifts, dips, bench press, lunges, chins and rows, and variations of each one. You'll be doing half the exercises getting twice the workout.

Search for a routine on this site and modify it to suit your needs. There are tons of posts on the subject.

Your triceps will get hit 3 days in a row. Too much.
Your shoulders will get hit 3 days in a row. Too much.

It seems like you just threw a bunch of movements together. I'd take a day off before you go throw shot.

so, M, T, off Weds, shot on Thurs, lift on Fri, Sat rest, Sun rest
I think the 5X5 would be good for you or do a push/pull/legs set up.
