    Day 5:

    Day 6:
    Arms:
    Seated strainght bar curls
    dips

    some forearm work

    So this is my routine but I do not follow it by letter everytime and I change things around. I usually do 1 warm up set for each and 3 normal + 1 drop set depends o what exercise we talk about... Also pumping means 1-3 high rep set and my chest+back day is a light day sometimes in supersets if the gym is empty.

    Looks fine, unnecessary amount of volume on a lot of things, adds up to what 40 sets for chest and an extra 20 for arms per week? Super unnecessary. I'd recommend getting on a proper program if you haven't tried them already instead of trying to 'instinctively train' if you're serious about getting results. There's plenty of great programs out there you just need to search for something that suits your goals and is something you will enjoy.

    With the way you're doing your split at the moment you could probably even switch to push/pull/legs and see better results, it's basically chest/shoulders/triceps, back/biceps, then legs, rest and repeat or do 6 days straight then rest and repeat depending on how you recover. Hitting that twice a week is plenty of volume especially for a natural, just focus on progression over time (weights/reps/sets), be patient and you'll get there.

    I think about getting arms out of day 3. Amd have just a shoulders day which isn't such a hard workout. And day chest/back day is light, I do not go heavy. I do not like push pull at all becuase it it too much for push days + my bis and tris are fked after chest amd back and it is embarassing to struggle with 15kg DB to do some curls...
