I personally like to keep my compound movements on the lower rep side & up the weight.

Isn't this repetitive ?
Bench press (8 reps x 3 sets)
Incline Dumbbell Press (8 reps x 3 sets) I know you use barbell for one, and dumbbells for the other, but... aren't these basically the same? Is this a good workout for the shoulders or should something else replace the dumbbell press? Just curious.

lol, dumbells are harder to control than barbells and also stop dominant sides pushing the weight up like you get with a barbell.
no shoulder issues with the exercises

this is a basic routine for a beginner and lunges require a lot of balance and co-ordination.
Squats and leg presses should never be substituted by lesser exercises

would there be any issue of doing this?
monday - Day one Wednesday - Day 3 Friday - Day 2 Sunday - Day one... and so on and so forth? i dont know much about bodybuilding, but wouldn't leaving so much time between upper body workouts not be enough?

Working each muscle group once per week is plenty enough for growth.

people tend to think that less = bad with bodybuilding.
I have only worked a muscle group directly once a week, never done me any wrong and my gains are still going strong. less = more in the beginning stages of bodybuilding. learn to walk before you can run

I agree, once a week for newbies is probably the best. However, as you progress in training, I feel you need to change this once a week. With once a week training, the rest is too long and growth stimulus stops. Remember, protein synthesis is only about 48 hours long. It has been proven that hitting a bodypart more frequently is very productive. This is how my body works. I need to train more frequent or unfortunately I risk losing my gains.

i tend to sway away from the training schedules that hit twice a week.
if your living in the gym and trying to fit your diet and life around your constant trips to the gym, how can your rest and recouperate? Thats my take on the issue... i know i'd burn out with 2 weeks if i was hitting the muscle groups that many times... different strokes for different folks. if you running clean (no gear) then the recouperation required is pretty hefty if your going to failure... i wouldnt even know where to start with how to plan the routine day to day...

mike mentzer built his body on the 'more = more' principle before coming to the conclusion during his training experiments that you can grow from shorter/less frequent workouts. Why do it two sittings when you can do it in one? dorian yates switched to his heavy duty style of training and it didnt do him any harm. members here are no where near that level of course but it goes to show that people need to abandon the fear that if they dont live in the gym glued to a bench they will shrink.

ive mentioned this many times before, but before i started working out with weights i was a keen cyclist. Unfortunatly my heart is just not all with doing a complete workout on the legs.. i dont mind throwing in a few leg exercises with every workout to keep up the tone, but i wouldn't be able to devote the whole workout to it... is there a problem doing the days 1 and 3 two days apart, and then a day 2 last but incorperate more upper body into it???
