    that's a lot of volume, and I prefer combining chest and tri. looks like you're hitting the tri pretty hard on chest day then again 2 days later.

    im not a fan of doing back bis /chest tris because of the fatigue factor and risk of overtraining the muscle. the fact is after a chest workout tris wil be fatigued and by adding extra sets to it you may be overtraning it. in your case i believe your overtranining all your sets by a lot.

    23 sets for shoulders is crazy bro - no matter how long it takes. I agree with Big also. Stop overtraining certain body parts - restructure certain days...i think u will be pleasantly surprised. Nothing nicer then when u realize intensity is more effective than volume and less really can be more in some cases. Then you can focus on diet and rest....and really grow (not that u arent just saying)

    if a few of the workouts in your routine doesnt feel like its working, and you know when its working or not, you should be grunting that shit up, take it out. Focus on the ones that you feel are testing your muscles. Everyone has a different body, and different workouts work well for some that dont for others. I try and pick 2-3 exercises per body part, besides legs, and make sure I am using enough weight and form that when ive done them 2-3 diff exercises, im blasted. When I start to feel it isnt working, ill throw one out and put a new one in, and cycle back to it later. I love to constantly change my routine.

    over training your shoulders and then go down list and you will see a lot of the other body part is the same thing .

    another thing you have back and biceps together where there is nothing wrong with that.
    it works but then going do triceps on day 5 by themselves dont make sense maybe do back by itself and arms together or back and biceps/ chest and triceps.
    which makes little more sense

    I do 3 exercises per body part. Which does seem wierd to me on chest and back day because after 6 exercises I am done. So I end chest and back day with push-ups and pull-ups to failure.
