    Workout help

    Hoping to get some feedback, am i doing too much, not enough? My current workout looks like this,

    Back - 12 sets (4 exercises)
    Chest - 15 sets (5 exercises)
    Shoulders - 12 sets (4 exercises)
    Traps - 12 sets (4 exercises)
    Bi's - 12 sets (4 exercises)
    Tri's - either 9 or 12 sets (3 or 4 exercises)
    Legs - 12 sets (4 exercises, even though my wheels are usually destroyed after the 1st exercise)

    Up until about a month ago i realised i was overtraining, so i've started to change things up. Does this look alright?

    a lot depends on the wieght you use and what exercise you are doing. for instance, on back, if you are doing all rowing movements then it may be much but if you are doing pull downs, pull ups, rows, ets ets then you could add more.
    imo you could be doing less on bi's and traps and possibly chest.
    it just depends on the wieght and failure.

    traps way too much.
    even out biceps and triceps same number of sets somewhere near 9-10 mark.
    chest can be between 9-12 sets.

    Awesome, very helpful. Thanks guys.

    As for my workouts, they change each week. Time to get into the routine of,
    Back - 12 sets (4 exercises)
    Chest - 9 sets (3 exercises)
    Shoulders - 12 sets (4 exercises)
    Traps - 6 sets (2 exercises)
    Bi's - 9sets (3 exercises)
    Tri's - either 9 or 12 sets (3 or 4 exercises)
    Legs - 15 sets (3 exercises for quads 2 exercises for hams)

    I forgot to mention i'm currently bulking, does it make a difference?
