Weekly workout questions..

[DCR660]

So my last football season just ended, and I want to stay in shape. I definatley want to get bigger, and stronger but I don't want to get fat at all. Most of all I want my bench max to go up, and i want by tris and bis to increase in size. I plan on working on legs and abs and everything else too. My workout goes like this, but I'm not sure if it will be any good.

Monday- Chest and forearms
Tuesday- Tris and Back
Wensday- Chest and bis
Thursday-Shoulders/ abs
Friday-Chest Bis and legs

I will spread out the chest excerises. For example, on monday i will do like flat bench and Incline, then on wed i will do hammer and decline, then on friday i will do db bench and db incline. I know I dont have much of a leg workout, and i know i should but really i'm not worried about my legs now that football is over but i wills till work on legs once a week, maybe even twice. My question is basically is this workout any good and what can I do to improve it for the certain goals that I have? And by the way I', 17 years old. I weigh 148 lbs and I'm 5'7". My bench max is 230 and i want it to be over 250. I have a very hard time improving on bench so thats why its not too high of a goal. I also would like to make my arms look bigger. I will also do cardio everyday for 15 mins, but i would also like to know if cardio would interfere with me gaining muscle, like would the cardio just take all the food i eat to build muscle and burn it all away? Thanks in advance and criticism is welcome.

not trying to completely bash your schedule but, well, at least you have good intentions . looks like overkill trying to increase your bench. the way you have it set up you wont give your secondary muscles a chance to recover. you will be hitting tris mon, tues, wed, and friday. shoulders mon, wed, thurs, fri. bis 2 days in a row from tues and wed. that wouldnt be TOO bad if you were going for size but if you are trying to just get stronger then you need to get a better recovery. i would recomend hitting your secondary muscles on the same day as you work a primary (ex: chest, shoulders, tris or back and bis). this will help your recovery of secondary muscles as well as shorten your workout. longer doesnt always mean better.

if you want more size in your bis and tris then you can do them in a different rep range. 1-5 on chest 8-12 on bis and tris. i also recomend a dynamic lift day for chest and legs. for dynamic lifts use around 60% of your 1 rep max and do 3 controlled reps as fast as you can keeping perfect form.

Thanks beefcurry, I atually did think that plan was overkill. But I am going for size too. I have like 3 other workouts too but im still not sure which one to use.
Another one is like this:
Mon-Chest and Bi's
Tues-Back and shoulders
Wed-forarms tris and legs
thurs-Chest Bi's
saturday-lat shoulders tris

Please let me know if this one seems to be a better fit for me
