Yet another question:
Standing in front og the mirror, palms facing forward, upper arms still look like spaghetti...
Which exersizes will help me get them just a tad wider?
Watching arm from the side, the size is fine, suits the rest of upper body :)
Does any of this make sence? :)

Still I have questions :)

Would it be better to the plank for longer or to add weight to the lower back?
I find it harder to holder plank longer...
At he moment i can hold for 60sec with 10kg on lower back...

Then keep it as is. I don't plank with any weight on back, but I'd say keep it the same. You might get more improvement, or you might find you've hit a ceiling limit in which case you could consider adding more.

[bYour routine sounds fine,id switch up barbell bencging with dumbells first its said to be much more effective,second as you know keeping the muscles guessing is always a plus.arRemember you get a much further stretch down past your chest close to the floor where you can hold a second on two and this is much different then stopping at the top of your chest,i did not get to read the entire thread apologies if this was said already,good luck :D ][/b]

I was recently told to do 4-5 sets 12-15 reps of each excersize, what is your thoughts on that vs 3 sets of 8-10 reps?

Why not do 4-5 sets of 8-10 then?

What was the reasoning given to you for this?

I'm still waiting for a response from the guy who told me...

He's compeeting and his advice is to do more reps and more sets... he should know what he's doing i guess, I'm just curious as to what the difference is, musclebuilding-wise...
