Hi again all. First of all thanks to everyone who has offered some advice. I really appreciate it!

I forgot to mention earlier that when I signed up for my membership I had an orientation of the equipment with one of the gym employees in which we went through about 11 different machines.

So, I've doing some thinking and thought a routine like this might be alright since these are the machines I'm familiar with.

Monday: Chest, triceps, shoulders
Using chest press, tricep pushdown (w/ rope), and shoulder press

Tuesday: Back, biceps, abs/obliques
Using upright row, back extensions, bicep curl, ab crunch, and torso rotary

Wednesday: Legs
Using leg curl, leg extension, and calf extension

Then I could repeat on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with Sunday off.

Please let me know what you guys think of this and if there is something I should be changing or whatever. Thanks again!

EDIT: Oh, I was also wondering, for forearms, can I just do bicep curls but with an overhand grip. I know there are reverse preacher curls with a barbell, but I'm using one of those bicep curl machines so I was just wondering if it would be the same thing. Thanks again!
