thanks!!!

Start out the week by training the bigger bodyparts first,then work your way down to the smaller ones as the week goes on.

Example:
Legs
Chest
Back
Shoulders
Arms

I also think you are doing too many sets.

You do not need 12 sets for biceps,they are a small muscle and get hit also when doing back.
Cut back on setys and put more into your training.

15 sets for pecs,and 9 for legs...............not good.


Do 10-12 sets for big areas,and 6-8 for smaller ones.

There is a point of diminishing returns and you are overtraining.

A good split for you to try:
Day-1
Legs,Hams,Calves

Day-2
Chest & Biceps

Day-3-REST

Day-4
Back & Traps

Day-5
Shoulders & Triceps

Day-6-REST

Day-7-REST

Good luck!!
