    i have always felt that if i do shoulders ahead of chest it takes away from my press movements because my shoulders are sore plus your working your tri's on wednesday with your chest and then again on friday with bi's. they need more than one day to rest and recover. i usually work my bi's with my back 6 sets of high intinsity dumbell or barbell movements. and tri's on chest day same thing 3 sets of skull crunch and 3 sets of somekind of tri press or pull down especially since you said your bulking. your not going to put on much weight in your arms i would concentrate on the legs, chest, and back. when i bulk i usually split my leg workout in 2 one day i do quads and calves and one day i do hams and glutes

    I would incorporate a rest day into the mix. Why lift 5 days straight? If it fits your schedule and if you are not drained by the latter days, then go for it. I would set the upper limit to 20 sets per bodypart, you are at 25 sets for a few groups. I prefer a
    Chest
    Back
    Off
    Leg
    Shoulders
    Arms
    Off-split myself.
    I would put your presses first in your shoulder workout. As all compound movements should be first, unless pre-ehausting, because these movements recruit more muscle fibers and ultimately stimulate the most musle growth. Add squats on leg day. The endocrine response to squats will improve all lifts. Good Luck

    30 sets for shoulders ... Also I believe one intense arm work is good enough.. 6 intense sets on back day and 8 intense sets on chest day for tri's... leave the cable movements out.. stick to close grip bench and skulls or overhead dumbells.. Cables arn't good especially when bulkin imo.. And I would def add some squats to your leg routine,and maybe cut a bit outta your chest routine!
