    muscle grows after you work them out i would say give them more time. second your doing 3+ muscles a session. unless your working out for 4 hours plus i woud recommend 1or 2. you will be doing cardio training rather then strength if you are working out different muscles in a short period. if your looking to get bigger thats not a good choice.

    heres what i do:

    mon: chest, biceps
    tue:shoulders
    wed:back, triceps
    thur:legs
    fri: biceps, forearms
    sat:chest (small session)

    that's what my week looks like. also you gota do way more excercises bro. theres plenty just search around. i do average about 8 excersizes for each muscle. some do certain parts of that muscle. and also so you won't get bored of the same old routine excersizes.

    Its hard to tell what your talking about. Whats an upright row for tris???db tricept raise???? Back work is a mess, cant figure it out either. Leg work is terrible too.

    this workout would only be good if u were trying to shock your muscles from a normal rutiene, i would do this for a couple weeks then go back to training them once a week.

    Roughly looking over your routine, i think your doing too many sets, i wouldn't train the body too hard for too many sets or too long depleting glycogen levels, depleted energy to go heavy, build up of lactic acid and cortisol doesn't help, move a body part or 2 across to your wednesday leg day, also:

    I'd do incline bench dumbell instead of flat bench dumbell.

    Hammer curls, bicep chin ups would be better to incorporate.

    I'd add close grip tricep bench press, lying triceps extensions and get rid of tricep raises. I dunno why you have upright rows there, thats for your shoulders/ upper back.

    Shouders add military press, shoulder press ...hmm again bent over row, is meant to be for the back.

    Lats - do you mean seated cable rows? Bent over rows , pull overs are also good.

    Back im not sure what heaves or back machine is. Deadlifts come into mind.

    Legs, lunges would be benefical.
