    That's pretty high volume. Just make sure you're stopping shy of failure by multiple repetitions. I would avoid hitting failure completely.

    I personally prefer a much lower volume approach, but as long as you can finish these workouts within a reasonable amount of time, go right ahead. I would suggest trying not to go too far beyond an hour for the actual lifting portion of the workout to prevent the rise of catabolic hormones.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    I'd take the Bl's and add them to back day. then take the tri's and add them to shoulder day. They way you have it now tri's the day after Chest, Your working tri's back to back days. When you do chest you are working your Tri's . So separate it someway. Volume doesn't bother me and it's what works for you.
