i dont really understand how youve laid this out
you have 27 sets down for chest
presumably this would be seperated into 3 workouts?
its not clear
ive heard that arnie trained each body part 3x week but that would be too much for me and most people
once every 5 days is the most frequent i can get away with
otherwise its just once a week

Don't even read what Arnold did. He had superior genetics, diet, and training in general. These days that kind of high volume training is frowned upon and it has been proven it is not necessary. High intensity/low volume routines have proven to be best for the average individual.
