Looks pretty good @zain1221!

 

I would maybe swap the barbell bench press on your lighter day out for the dumbbell bench press if your goal is muscle gain. Also, are you doing some width variations with bicep exercises to target a bit more of the the inside and outside heads?

 

For example, you have a dumbbell bicep curl and then a cable bicep curl on your first session.. which is basically the same movement. I would at least try to make one a wide-grip movement and the other a close-grip movement just to shift the emphasis between the biceps heads.

 

Are you training abs at some point too?

Thanks for the reply scott. I''ll change the bench press on the lighter day for a flat dumbell press and I''ll keep the dumbell curl which targets the long head and with the drop set I''ll use a wide grip
