    Ok first off, I like the 2 on 1 off plan....Next, if ur going for mass I think your doing too much. I was like this before until i got on this forum and realized more isnt better, its how intense you hit it. Find the good mass excersizes and stick with those. And DO NOT DO 8-12 reps for mass! I woudlnt go more than 8. so like 8 6 6 or something like that. You need a spotter, you will not gain mass without a spotter period.

    For back, i wouldnt do close grip and wide grip pull downs for lats in the same workout, stick to one and go hard, then switch up every 3-4 weeks, everything else looks good.
    For Bi's I would do flat bar bell curls, GREAT FOR MASS and DB hammer curls, 3-4 sets each, thats all you need for Bi's really, take a look at Swoles arm protocol.
    For Chest, Incline BB is good and if you want an even better incline BB exercise check out http://forums.steroid.com/showthrea...ght=upper+chest, I wouldnt do decline, and instead of DB's for flat, do BB and the flys and dips are good.
    For Tri's, take out one of the push down excerisizes and do close grip bench, close grip bench and skull crushers are the best for mass for tricpes.
    For Shoudlers, 18 sets is just way too much. Military is good but I like to bring the bar down the front instead of the back and arnolds are good.


    And for the ARMS day im confused, your already doing Bi's with Back and Tri's with Chest so whats the arm day for? I recommend hitting each muscle once a week HARD, low reps heavy weight good form and make sure your diet in in tact. Overall, cut down on the exercises, way too many sets which will lead to over training. If you hit every sit hard and heavy, you shouldnt be even able to do that many sets. Hope this helps.
