    Its technically good, but yeah its way too much and would lead to overtraining.

    6-8 sets for smaller parts
    10-12 sets for bigger parts

    That is all that is necessary, just work out with high intensity for each rep and you will get more stimulation whilst not overtraining. Even if you are one of these people that needs loads of sets to grow, it still seems too much.

    because seems like you like high amounts, ill have to agree with the rest so far. I thought it the second I read your first day's workout, seems like too much. well definatly too much for me. since you said you'll do a cutting routine later, this must be a bulk/str gainer... drop the sets, drop the reps, up the weight. for a bulk/str gainer, if you are able to do 10-12 reps, you're way too light. definatly on the ones you have 20 reps...WAY too light for a bulk/str routine. Just need a little refining and it'll be pretty good. GL!

    Critique in bold. I don't believe in doing the exact same workout twice in a row unless you are beginner and like everyone said overall too much volume.
