    No wonder your not growing like you would like! Thats way to much bro!

    You need to at least double that! NO MORE than 1 muscle every 7 days.

    Go for 12-16 reps.. no reason to do more

    ie
    day1 legs
    day2 shoulders
    day3 rest
    day4 back
    day5 chest
    day6 arms
    day7 rest

    Lift moderate-heavy weight 8-12 reps should be good.
    Make sure youre eating roughly 150g fat 400-500g carbs 350g protein CLEAN *Limit 2 shakes per day* (weight gainer included)

    i think you got it twisted... i said 16-24 SETS... i dont think that's too much at all... 4 exercises 4 sets each is actually just perfect... dunno why you feel otherwise
