Waste of time doing all those isolation exercises. You need to build some foundation strength first. Remeber your only as strong as your weakest link. People who only train their mirror muscles are only setting themselves upfor joint pain later in life and will pleateau much sooner than someone who does it properly.

Upper and lower body splits doing each twice a week ie my regime

Monday - lower body
tuesday - upper body
wednesday - i train my gf but also do 15 mins of HIIT myself
thursday - lower body
friday - upper body
saturday 15 minutes of HIIT
sunday - train the GF again with another 15 minutes of HIIT in the morning them swimming in the evening.

lower body i just do squats, romanian deadlifts and weighted lunges.

upper body, incline and decline becnhpress, military press, close grip pullups and bent over rows should suffice.

Its not the weight that makes the difference, its the form andthe length it takes you to perform a rep that breaks down muscle fibres. do everything in a 2-1-2 tempo (2 seconds to push or pull the weight away, pause at the full extension or contraction for a second then allow 2 seconds to move slowly back to the start position then straight back again with no rest. Do this for 12 reps of a lower weight, its not how much weight you can push its the quality of the movement. remember practise doesnt make perfect, only perfect practise makes perfect.

In all fairness you should probably book yourself an hour session with a personal trainer for an assessment and monthly review if you want the best results.

Some great advice from DizzyRebel there. Whittie, you'd be much better off using a programmed based on the main compound exercises which are the primary building blocks for muscle. Search for a routine called 'Bill Starr 5x5'. Great routine which I still use now for 14 week periods.
