Any program advice would be appreciated...

I've just stumbled across these boards, and I cannot explain how refreshing it is to find such an enthusiastic and helpful community of like-minded lifters. Before doing any more posting, I'd like to know if my current weekly routine is "cutting it." Any help would be appreciated, as I alternate between day one and day two and try to emphasize upper body exercises.

Day One

Seated Bicep Curls - 8 reps w/ max weight, rep until failure with 5 more lbs
Dumbbell Press - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Incline Dumbbell Press - 10 reps, 8 reps w/max weight
Dumbbell Flyes - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Incline Dumbbell Flies - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Wide Grip Preacher Curls - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Close Grip Preacher Curls - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Standing Wide Grip Barbell Curls - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Standing Close Grip Barbell Curls - 10 reps, 8 reps w/ max weight
Standing Dumbbell Curls - 8 reps (4 on each arm) down the rack
Crunches - 200
Side Crunches - 400 (200 for each side)
Leg Lifts - 50

Day Two

25 minute run (1 1/2 - 2 miles)

No lower body?

What's your diet?

What are your goals?

What are your stats (ht, wt, bf%)?

[NateDogg]

What stencil said. Do you not have legs?

[miskiw]

I count 13 exercises... that's alot...how do you find the energy?...

how long are your workouts?

you should keep them at max 1 hour... 13 exercises probably takes you more then that I bet...

1) gotta train legs to get a strong upper body

2) looks like you're trying to do a full body split- check out the link in my sig, goto samepl/past articles, and it'll tell you how to build a proper full body split

No, it's not. At least not if you're looking for a well-balanced body. All you do is train arms and chest. That'll never work. To continue on what Alex(AJ) said, you'll need a strong foundation to be able to build a house. I think you need to get more basic in your approach. If you are doing a full-body routine you should stay away from all the little stuff (i.e. biceps) and focus on the really big lifts: squats, deadlifts, pullups, benches etc. It's a fairly well-known "fact" in lifting circles that you don't get big arms from curls, you get big arms from being string all over. Chins will work your biceps harder than any curl can, the same goes for bent-over rows. Simplify.
