      So here's my workout plan for now:

      Monday: Shoulders/triceps
      1. Seated shoulder press (4 sets)
      2. Wide-grip upright row (4 sets)
      3. Lateral raises (4 sets)

      Tuesday: Back/biceps
      1. Assisted chin-up (4 sets)
      2. Lat pulldowns (4 sets)
      3. Seated rows (4 sets)
      4. Bicep curls (4 sets)

      Wednesday: Rest

      Thursday: Shoulders/triceps
      1. Seated shoulder press (4 sets)
      2. Wide-grip upright row (4 sets)
      3. Lateral raises (4 sets)

      Friday: Legs
      Leg press/squats (4 sets)
      Leg press (4 sets)
      Calf raises (4 sets)

      Saturday: Arms (biceps/triceps)
      Bicep curls (4 sets)
      Bicep curls variation (4 sets)
      Tricep pushdowns (4 sets)

      Sunday: Abs and Cardio
      General abs workout (10 minutes)
      Cardio (HIIT or steady)

      I mainly want to build broader shoulders. I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct workout plan. I also want big arms too. So should I keep the arm day on Saturday? Or should I replace that with another back/bicep day?

      Yeah I'll work on that too. But can I have an answer? Should I have an arm day? My arms are quite small.

      You dont workout chest?? And for back ur missing deadlifts? Your workouts dont seem to be complete in general though.

      No, you should be hitting each muscle 2-3 times a week. It would be best to switch to an upper/lower, fullbody, or push/pull/legs split.

      Just work your triceps with chest, and work your biceps with back.

      I see you only rest 1 or 2 days before you hit the same muscle, why don't you give yourself a longer rest period. That is what I have heard and practice.

      do you want to look uneven?
      Throw some good chest in there, it'll help your shoulders and fill them out more. Front delts.
      I do Chest/Tris, Back/Bis, Shoulders, Legs.
      I throw calves in there on different days and abs when it feels like it.
