    Here is my opinion. Volume looks ok and I assume u are warming up properly. I would do chest mon, back tues, shoulders wed, legs thur and arms fri. Give yourself some rest from the push workouts. U at least have a day off in between chest, shoulders etc.

    The reason I have 7 sets for some exercise is for Fascial Stretch training. http://fst-7.com/ What do you guys think about it?

    regarding splits, i would also throw a day break in between and make that a 3 days on 1 off, or change it to a 4 day split combining shoulders and arms

    I was just wandering but when i go to the gym i take my time in between sets on days i don't have anything to do. Anything wrong with that. I might screw around for 5 minutes sometimes.
