WAY WAY WAY too much bro. 29 sets for chest?! :eek: thats just insane, i have no idea how you finish this. your intensity must not be nearly high enough. i do 10-12 sets for chest and that is plenty for me.
36 sets for shoulder!?!?! :eek: thats even worse. and why are you doing chin ups for shoulders?
All these sets for upper body and only 4 sets (squats) for legs? i dont get it
not to flame, but there is nothing correct about this routine.

I dont know it might just be me but this looks like something straight out of Flex mag...These routines are just not going to produce anything but overtraining . Way to much .If your working your but off on your work sets you wont be able to do all that other crap .Down size your routine and that will be a huge step in the right direction ..Peace AC

I ussually do 8 - 10 exercises a day that is including abs, I dont do the whole lot I ussualy do the ones with (M) the other ones I just have their so once every few weeks I will change a couple of exersizes around with one of the ones in the list, I got the exersizes from Arnies Bodybuilding Encylopdia and just put the exersizes I thought were good in the list.
