    also: by the looks of it you are over training your body a bit.. 18 sets for chest? 14-15 sets for your arms? seems a little to much, but hey every1 is diff.. if it works for you then go for it but i belive this is to much work.. by doing that many sets towards the end your just going to be burned out and loose the intensity needed.. most people would reccomend to be in the gym for 45-60 min max.. i dont go by this but MANY do.. good luck

    you need to do legs, it will uo your bodys natural test levels and your upper body will gain more as well. and it does look a tad bit as if you are doing to much volume. make room for legs and cut out some of the more redundant movements

    yeah the more i look at this you are seriously overtraining, you are doing 5 to 6 differetn exercise per body part in one day! that is way to much, alos your total legs for the wk,1 set of squats and deads isnt close to enough,you are overtraining the smaller muscle groups, your shoulde day for example you have 4 dofferent variations of front and lateral delt movements, they are all very similar , alsoonearm presses, whywould you do one arm presses rt after military presses? it is just to much, to many similar movements, for chest you do a total of 6 exercise for one body part in one day, a good rule of thumb, no more than 3 to 4 exercise per day, imo 3 is plenty.less is better, more volume does NOT = better gains!!!!!!! i cant stress this concept enough

    so u think i should lower sets\\\
    \\\ By doin that i feel as if i haven't acomplished nothing im the type that if i just do say 3 sets of 10 each muscle group i feel nothin,
    like i haven't done anything, this workout i posted gives me little bit of a challenge but not killer to me.
    But im not a doctor so im open to suggestions ill try anything once.

    just cut the volume down a bit from all your sets and incorporate a leg day.. instead of doing 6 excersizes do 3-4 with of 3 sets in each.. look in the training section and you can find a routine that suits u..

    trust me, i used to over train severly. 2 hour workouts 5- 6days a wk,when i finaly listened to my body and cut back the volume it worked out SOOOOOOOO much better. give it a try for a few wks
