You seem to be doing the same exercises every time and kinda working all body parts in one go.

I personally am more a fan of dividing the body groupings e.g. focusing on legs 1 day, back/biceps 1 day etc. or however you choose to split.

Change up the exercises as well.

My no. 1 tip to you is to understand how each muscle works and is subdivided so you know how to work it, and use a variety of exercises per muscle to work different parts of the muscle but also to expose it to something different for better stimulation.

e.g. tricep is 3 parts - lateral, medial and long heads and what exercises are specific targets for which head etc.

That's a lot of volume. I won't get into discecting the workout but for that volume do you have everything else lined up to manage it?

Sleep?
Nutrition?

I like it. I would honestly try and do more :demonic: But spread it out over 4-5 days. My only real concern is squatting with other lifts... for me personally, after squats I'm pretty much toast. I eek out some deadlifts and call it a day. But if you are smart with weight + form + deloads you would be surprised how much volume you can do.

Something else to consider that lifters seem to hate to talk about is when you have a lot of volume cardio helps. Having that endurance will keep you from getting gassed early on and will help overall performance too.
