Although Oh has been working out for years he has never tried to bulk up. The primary reason he's been exercising is to stay in shape and remain healthy. He does not want to suffer from m.s., hyperthermia, arthritis, or any kind of diseases. He has seen too many suffering from maltreating thier health by going on a drinking binge, smoking, which Oh does not do. He does not want his wife and kids to be bereft and he wants to play with his grandchildren later by piggybacking them. Oh always worked out for tone. And that's why people have been saying that Oh looks lean or fit. But Oh has never particulary relished the comment.
While Oh has never signed up for a commercial gym, he only has taken advantage of free gyms on campus or local rec-centers with poor and rusty equipment, not to mention no personal trainer. Now that he put down 3 month long gym pass two months ago, he wants to take the whole thing to the next level by getting more serious. FYI, he does not aim to be a pro.
Last week, while sweating off the bitterness, he came to think that he needed some professional help from the trainer at the gym. So he basically harassed the trainer for 3 days to devise daily
workout routine and was assisted on the postures, nutrition and so forth.
It was an eye opening experience for Oh. He's always believed that he needs to lift heavy weight to bulk up. But the trainer constantly told Oh to work out for tone instead of getting massive. Convinced, Oh asked the trainer to groom him so that he could have a solid body in lieu of lean or fit. Thus, the trainer taught Oh that he needs to lift lighter but more. Feeling doutful, Oh decided to just follow the master's advice.
So, here Oh uploads his workout routine, which is still debatable and not decisive. If you have suggestions or comments, please let him know. He is going to print this out everyday and feeling excited to cross out each item for the daily program.

You really don't need to be running every day you train. If you keep the rest time in between each set to about 30 seconds, and the rest time between each separate exercise to a minute, then you will have your heart pumping at a good pace and will be surely working up a sweat.
Add another ab exercise instead of just doing on and do your abs after all your other exercises. Abs get worked out a bit in all that we train and so you don't want to exhaust them until the end of your routine.
Why the strange split? And why no leg training? I find it strange that so many guys don't train legs. They're such a huge body part and in the summer, trust me, us girls can tell when a guy doesn't train them.
Your routines are too long! Keep your routines down to 3-4 exercises. You want to train, not kill yourself. Over training will not only take up all your time but it will greatly discourage you and leave you too tired.
Make sure to add stretching at the start of each training session.
Day 1/4: arms (biceps, triceps, shoulders), and some abs
Day 2/5: back, chest, and some abs
Day 3/6: LEGS and some abs

Thanks for the advice.
There are a couple of points that I would like to refute or follow up on.
1. I do stretch on the outset. I've playing b-ball for years. So...
2. I do work on my legs, however. Half squat and seated leg curl. Last night, I decided to increase the number of repetition for legs, considering your advice. But I don't really care about how girls look at my legs. I work out for my own satisfaction and my health. Although getting leered at is a minor byproduct:)
3. The split that I am employing is not uncommonly used. As you know, there are many kinds of split and it is up to you which one of them you like to take on. Like I said mine is not decisive, but I like it so far. For example, while workign on my chest, you know that, tricep also gets pumped up, which is why I do tricep after chest. Same thing with back and bi-cep. You highly mobilize your bi-cep while doing back so I do back and bicep back 2 back. Lastly, while doing squat, I can feel my shoulder also getting stimulated and thus do shoulder after quads.
I might take on your suggestion after 6 months or so when I feel jaded with my current routine.
4. Speaking of running, I just love running. Well, I don't need to do cardio actually coz I ride a bicycle 40 mins everyday. But still I run to get warmed up and so forth. I was in the military and ran 5-6 miles every single morning unlike puny Korean soldiers who barely work out in the mornings.
5. I agree my routines seem to be a bit lengthy. So I did and will try to decrease the number of repetitions or sorts of workout for each body part. Good point.
As a result of taking your advice into consideration and experimenting on my own, I have been redacting the draft. In few days I will upload the final one. Thanks again!
