Plus too much volume

I would avoid training 3 days in a row if you can help it. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday would seem to make more sense; Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday would also be fine. Organize it so that you separate your shoulder day from your chest-tri and back-bi days. An example would be something like this:

Monday - Legs/Abs
Tuesday - Shoulders
Thursday - Back/Bis
Friday - Chest/Tris

It seems to me like this would take quite a long time to complete. If you can complete the workout in a reasonable amount of time and you avoid muscular failure most of the time, then you would probably be fine. Your exercise selection looks pretty good.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I guess I could do

Sunday - Legs/Abs
Monday- Shoulders

Thursday - Back/Bis
Friday - Chest/Tris

I wanted to make sure I did legs Sunday mornings to put about 60 hours between my leg workout and when I have to play hockey wednesday nights. And then if I do shoulders Monday, it separates it from the back/chest days

Makes sense.
