    20 set for shoulders?

    23 sets for tri's?

    Could be, depends on how you are responding.

    Tha ab workout is pretty insane if you want some thickness.

    How big are you?
    On anything?

      i only do two workouts a day per muscle

      what i mean is if im doing my arms (i do forearms on my arm day)

      i'll normally do 4 sets of each exercise, a warm up exercise, then 3 sets of heavy wait till failure each time (i never sit here and say i'm doing 3 sets of 10)....i always try to push out extra reps when i don't limit myself

      but tuesdays are currently my arms day

      you can do DB Curls, and then Barbell Curls (every 3rd week i will do negative curls)....today i'm gonna run the rack w/ DB Curls so I'll only do one bicep exercise today

      for triceps i will be doing cable pulldowns, and tri extensions, I might throw in 2 extra sets of tricep kickbacks but not a heavy weight

      and then I'll end with my forearms...forearm cable curls, and i like to end the day with 3 sets of holding a 45lb plate, i just sit with my elbows on my thighs and hold it for as long as i can till my forearms burn like hell

      i switch it up every week usually or every other week, but i definetly think your overworking your triceps...I would never do more then 3 exercises a day per body part...cept abs your fine

      i only do short ab exercises every once in a while, i don't train them too hard, b/c my diet keeps my stomach tight



      I also seperate my shoulder and back days

      i use one day for back, rear delts, and traps
      and another day for anterior and lateral delts




      MY WORKOUT
      m - chest
      t - arms, forearms
      w - back
      t - shoulders
      f - legs, calves

      i don't feel locked into that, i might rest on a wednesday and then just push the rest back a day

      i'll throw in abs whenever i feel like it...but u seem to be more hard on your abs, so i'd do that on monday if i were you with the chest

          Are you gaining? If not, then you are over trained or your diet is not up to par.

            WAY TOO MUCH VOLUME.........you do not need to be doing all of this work,in fact if you can your workouts are probably far from intense.

            You ever hear of recovery?

            You only grow outside the gym,not from doing marathon workouts.

            Try doing 10-12 sets for bigger bodyparts,and between 6-10 for smaller ones.


            Good luck bro,and get some food and rest because you`ll definately need it training like that!!
