I eat around 8 'meals' (counting Pre and Post-WO drinks) a day and get good sleep, but I'm wondering:
1.) Is there a better way to blast my tris and traps into growth (I feel like i may be overtraining)
2.) Am i overtraining?
3.) Should i lower my reps and up my weight in all my workouts or just some of them?

Thanks for any advice fellas

I would make sure I hit all my core lifts first for the muscle I was working that day. I usually tend to hit those core lifts at a different rep/set than I do for my aux lifts. I used to train like that(more body building oriented) during my off season from power lifting, but I grew a lot more over all when I was lifting as a power lifter, but got more cut up lifting like a body builder, that may just be the case for me though. I didn't really get that burned out on days where I doubled muscle training like that, but I think that also factored into my lack of growth.

ski is on a distinguished road
You`re doing way too many sets for a small muscle like biceps.Do 8 hard sets, as opposed to your 13-14 sets.That`s definately too much work for them to be able to recover and grow.Train triceps once a week as well as the rest of the body.I realize you are trying to prioritize triceps by training them twice weekly ,but one all out day is enough.More is not better,better is better.Do skullcrushere`s first as they are the mass builder,don`t wear yourself out by doing pressdowns first.Go heavier,on tri`s.The exercises in your back routine are too similar and redundant,do a cable row seated,with just one pulldown movement,as well as one rowing movement,4 sets each.Go lower reps on basic compound movements pyramiding ,ie. weight up,reps down .Keep reps between 6-12. Good luck !
