Well...
This is straight-out-of-the-bodybuilding playbook, and is based on an entirely different philosophy than I currently subscribe to. If you like it, and it works for you, and it meets your needs—go for it. If you’re just starting out, I’d urge you to ditch the machine work, go with full-body (3x/week), or upper-lower split workouts (2 each/week), and drop your sets per “body part” down to at MOST ten. I would also encourage you to think about movement patterns (pushing upper body, pushing lower body, pulling upper body, pushing lower body) rather than “triceps” and “biceps.” It’s just a more organic way of grouping things. These high-volume, low-frequency workouts seldom end well for anyone who isn’t ‘supplementing’ liberally—if you catch my drift.
Hit up the beginner’s section at T-Nation.com for some more specific tips. Good luck—Andrew

Andrew, have you checked out Ironaddicts.com?
I’ve been peeking around over there for a couple of months now and it seems like there is some golden info out there, and the fact that only accomplished and knowledgeable lifters are allowed to post advice makes for a no-nonsense type of forum, unlike sites like bb.com.
