The Devil's new Routine: Please critique

It looks like he's doing tri's with back and bi's with chest. You should probably switch that Devil...

This was my first thought but I figured he would have added more than one tricep movement. I don't know, Mreik. I've always liked the thought of doing back/tri's chest/bi's--that way you get one day of indirect bicep/tricep work and one day of direct bicep/tricep work. However, it's one of those 'to each his own' kinda' things.
 
^^Very true, I guess is depends on how many isolation exercises you do, also.
 
Yup, I am doing back and tri together. For the triceps, I do cable pushdown/bent over extension AND one of either close grip bench press or one arm dB tricep extension.

I have tried back and bi together and chest and tri for seven month prior to this routine.. However I noticed it seriously hinders how much I can row after doing bicep curls and vice versa. Anyhow I have been sticking to the current routine for more than 3 months now and I guess its time to change it up a bit.

well, row is suppose to come before curls.. always do the big compund lifts before your isolation movements ;)
