joined a bodybuilding gym about 3 months ago and have been easing into it since then, i asked for a program to get me bigger, stronger, toned and symettrical (sp)

im not into body building but i want to look good.

im 25 and feel that if i dont get in very good shape i probably never will.

so anyway... im 6' 2" about 100kg/15.5 st always been pretty big and always had a bit of a belly.

Program as follows

Every exercise is 3 sets and 12 reps with a 60 second recovery inbetween sets.


Chest + tris

Incline dumbell press
Bench press
Flys
Decline chest press
Tricep dips
Tri cable push down
Tri o/head cable
Failure move : push ups


Back + bis

Wide grip pull ups
Seated row narrow grip
one arm db bent over row
bent over row wide
cable straight arm pulldown
preacher curls
seated incline db curl
rope cable curl
Failure move : Lat pulldown


Legs + abs

squats
deadlifts
leg extension
ham curls
plyometric lunges
cable crunches
hanging leg raises
oblique crunches
weighted curl ups
Failure move : leg press


Shoulders

seated db shoulder press
upright row
db shrugs
cable lateral raise
front raise
Failure move: Standing db shoulder press

ah phew!

apologies for the length of program.

the reason im posting is that i had a few bb mates who i no longer speak to that would always say that max reps for building is 10 and only do a few exercises??

i feel the program is very thourough (sp) and im quite happy to tackle it, just thought id put it put there!! cheers in advance!

Personally I think you are doing too much. I've edited your program a touch, see what you think.
I've added some alternatives for you also, you might want to throw them in occasionally or alternate each session.
