    Yea, I mean everything has been great and I have seen consistent growth on all fronts and great increase in strength. I am not here to be humungous, like body builder stage status, granted I am all natural too, no steroids here. I want to come close to my all natural potential, but I know it will take lots of time and effort.

    I am 6'4 220lbs fyi. 15% Bf.

    Why are you doing chest twice before doing shoulders once?
    You should add another exercise for triceps.
    On leg days, switch it up with your main exercise, instead of doing presses every time, do either Hac squats or squats on the smith machine.
    Also adding abs every day and cardio 3-4x ew this is a solid workout routine...How long does your work out session usually last? Instead of doing chest twice in one week you might want to consider making it another off day?

    I use a timer on my phone and keep rest periods to 1 minute while lifting and 2-3 minutes between exercises. So my lifting takes me max of 45 minutes, that includes abs.

    Then 30 minutes for cardio, so an hour and 15 minutes in total.


    I also don't do squats because one of my knees is totally rebuilt (orthoscopic and reconstructive, few bolts), my presses are usually light too with high reps.

    I don't see how you could have an arm day after chest and before back since most chest exercises involve the chest and most back exercises work the bis to a degree.
