    if i understand what your getting out your over-training

    your going to the gym 6 days a week, training each bodypart 3 days a week, and doing 63 sets on mon-wed-fri?????

    not to mention the fact that your doing chest/back/legs one day and following with bi's tri's and shoulders ----all of which were worked the previous day

    maybe im not understanding you correctly but this makes absolutly no sense to me at all

    try doing a split like this canuck:
    monday:thighs
    tuesday: chest triceps
    wednesday: off
    Thursday: shoulder trap
    friday: back bicep


    and you have the weekend off and repeat, this split has worked well for me, and each gym session should be 30-45 mins of lifting only and i always do from 20-30 min cardio after so you aren't in the gym that long

    you should try to do 3 or 4 exercises for each muscles except for biceps and traps they are small, i only do one exercise for traps and 2 maybe 3 exercises for biceps
