Why, why, why? Why do people still train like this? Not, that I didn't do the exact same thing when I started out.

If you're going to the gym 4 or 5 days and want to lift weights on most of those days then why not do a upper/lower split. You'd train your upper body on two days, and lower on two days. So, it might look like this:

Mon and Thur. Lower Body
Tues and Friday Upper Body

Then you can use compound movements instead of isolation exercises. Because, really....how are you going to have a shoulders day? And why devote only one session to the largest and arguably most important muscles (your lower body).
