Without any data about diet, regularly scheduled activity, etc, I can't offer any suggestions except that you may be overtraining. You may want to take a break from training for 7-10 days then resume at a lower level of volume.

If you have been doing that exact same thing since febuary you deffenitly need to mix it up. I am sure you have accomadated to this rountine.

You could try to replace the:

Shoulder Press with Arnold Press
Incline Press with Decline Press

you're routine needs to be changed. too long for one routine
here are some pointers:

- keep pushing muscles together eg. chest worked out with triceps and back with biceps

- or try working on opposites for a while eg. chest and back, biceps/triceps etc.

- put in a day of circuit training (pick an exercise for each body part and go through it from largest to smallest muscles with minimal rest between each muscle)

superset exercises (works well when working on opposites on the same day) eg. preacher curl(biceps) with skull crushers(triceps)

watch how much time you rest between sets. by going over two minutes you lose a lot of that tension you worked hard on getting during the previous set (45-60s for light weights/high reps, 60-90s for heavy weight 6-10 reps, and 3-5 minutes for power lifting-1-5 reps with extremely heavy weight)

come up with a good superset program that allows you to go from body part 1 to body part 2. that has helped in the past

hope this helps

thanx for all the advice, i had a workout yesterday usin barbells instead of dumbells and im in the midst of mixin my program up. i guess my question was more of whether my routine looked right or i whether i had been neglecting anything.
