    Way too much volume. On Monday drop all the fly movements and only pick one or two bi movements. Drop Wed and use that as a rest day. Move shoulders and tris to Thurs and choose 1 pressing movement and lateral raises. No need for seated and standing since they work the same thing. Just pick one or two tricep movements. Move back by itself on Friday. Drop all pulldowns since you already have pullups. Again these work the same thing. No need for both dumbbell and barbell shrugs. Just choose one. So in short I would do something like this. I will leave the sets and reps out since those can be adjusted week by week.
    Mon Chest/bi
    incline barbell or dumbbell press
    Flat barbell or dumbbell press
    dips
    barbell curl
    incline curl

    Tues Legs:
    Squats
    Leg press
    pull thrus
    glute ham raises

    Wed Rest

    Thurs Shoulders/tris
    Overhead barbell or dumbbell press
    lateral raises
    Close grip bench
    overhead rope ext

    Fri back
    Deadlift
    Chins or pullups
    1 arm or chest supported rows
    bent over lateral raises
    Dumbbell or barbell shrugs
    Sat/Sun rest.

    Looks to me like a bit of training overload on ur chest work outs do you feel your giving them adequate time to heal you have 26 sets on Monday 20 sets on Friday..

    When I train chest I'm getting to set 12 and almost rubbished..
    Might want to rethink that?
