    Personally I think you're doing too many exercises and too many sets. You have the basics (Bench, Deads, Squat) but you need to concentrate on them more. Go heavier. Go with 3-4 working sets of the big ones, super heavy and to the limit, then do 2 sets max of the others. I know there's no way I could do 4 sets of squats then 4 of leg press, extensions, and curls. My legs would be wasted after 4 sets of squats.

    Also, ditch the Dumbbell benching and use a barbell. You want to go HEAVY and you just can't do that safely with dumbbells. (Yeah yeah, some people are going to disagree, this is just my opinion).

    Here's what I would do:

    SUN: Chest/Tri

    Chest
    Barbell flat bench : 3-4 warm-up sets 3 working sets x 4-6 reps
    BB incline bench: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps

    Tri
    lying tri extensions: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps
    tri cable press downs: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps

    MON : Legs
    squats: 3-4 warm-up sets 3 working sets x 4-6 reps
    leg presses: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps
    leg extensions:2 working sets x 6-8 reps
    leg curls: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps

    *** Depends on how your calves grow ***
    standing calf raises:3 working sets x 6-8 reps
    seated calf raises:2 working sets x 6-8reps


    WEN : Back
    dead lifts: 3-4 warm-up sets 3 working sets x 4-6 reps
    lat machine pull downs: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps
    seated cable rows: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps
    barbell shrugs: 3 working sets x 6-8 reps


    THUR : Shoulder/Bi
    Shoulder
    military presses: 2-3 warm-up sets 3 working sets x 4-6 reps
    seated arnold presses: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps

    Biceps
    barbell curls:2 working sets x 6-8 reps
    alternating dumbbell curls: 2 working sets x 6-8 reps


    Go as heavy as you can while keeping good form in all these. Each of these days should take you 45-60 minutes to do. Cortisol starts being released at 47 minutes of continuous heavy lifting, so anything after that is a waste. Take 1-2 minutes rest between each set to allow your muscles to re-energize for the next set. Take the rest time, or you will burn out quickly and not be able to finish.

    Looks good to me man, my only comment is, ditch the declined presses for chest in exchange for weighted dips. Also use barbells generally, but use dumbbells every third workout. And, as previously mentioned, switch this up a little every workout, just change one excersize here and there. Change the whole thing drastically every few months. You got to keep your body on it's toes. I will PM you some other ideas...

    I'll see if I can find it again. It's been awhile since I read it. Maybe it was mentioned in Doggcrap's lifting program? Can't remember off the top of my head. I'll get back to you.

    I find I get bigger using BB, and stronger using DBs. I thought your original question said you were looking for size, not strength. Sorry.

    I still think your volume is way too high. How can you be truly pushing yourself to your maximum and have enough energy left to do 3 more sets? Most of the time I'm lucky if I can get 3 full sets, most of the time I only get 2. But that's me and how I lift.

    Like I said, JMO
