Should I do traps?? I go gym three times a week
4 sets deadlifts
4 sets lat pull downs
4 sets cable rows
2 sets pull ups
4 sets standing bicep curl
4 sets hammer curl
Then some back machines
And some bicep machines
And shrugs uprightrows
Hyperextensions also
Well too much volume? personal opinion.
Just stick to something like
Deadlifts
Cable rows
Lat pulldowns
Chins/Pullups
Straight BB curls
Incline Db curls
Shrugs

Agreed! I think you would get to tired and you wouldn't be able to focus all your energy into those muscles. If you want fast gains, Volume is not where it is, cause I do about the same workout ATeeGee said and its a great workout.
What do you mean volume take the sets lower maybe and go heavy

I think its perfect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and it is not too many exercises. 5 exercises for back, and 3-4 for biceps.

I might lower the sets but im definitely into deadlifts
Too many exercises, just you stated that you would do 'back machines, bicep machines. I mean i really dont know how many you are going to use for sets and reps...
My back/biceps on my pull day, which i did today is.
Chins: 3x8-10 (add weight when you can perform 10+ reps for 3 sets)
Dumbell pullovers: 3x10-12
Lat pulldowns: 3x10-12
Bent over rows: 3x5
Deadlifts: 3x5 (2 sets ramping weight, 1 set stabalizer)
Incline curls: 3x8-10
Straight bar curls: 2x10-12
Dumbell shrugs: 3x10-12
The back portion of the workout seems fine (maybe a tad bit too many sets on all of those), but the biceps are being WAY overdone. It's a very tiny muscle, and they're already being worked from the back workout, so there's no need to smash them into the ground like that. Work them to failure on iso curls and maybe a standing EZ bar curl, then get out. Any more than that and you're just spinning your wheels.
Jesus Christ. Why is everyone so ****ing afraid to do an extra exercise or two? I'm out.
WAYYY too much volume bro.
You're 15 concentrate on core lifts.
Deadlifts
Rows
Pull Ups
Chins
Those will all hit back/traps/biceps in one lift.

Yeah I'm lowering sets but I don't do biceps much I usually really focus on tri chest back legs I do biceps once in a while cause my biceps grow pretty well
Just my biceps sometimes never get sore the next day do I wana go hard take my break for a while on my biceps let them grow
deadlifts, pull ups, bent over rows, and tbar rows

Quality > quantity, just because you CAN stay in the gym for 3 hours a day does not mean you should. We're trying to help him find a volume that is more appropriate for gains rather than over training the muscle. An extra exercise or two can cause over training and a decrease in muscle size, I don't think he wants that.
this is a terrible routine
deadlift
bb row
bb shrug
chin ups
bb curl & hammer curls & maybe incline db curl
the rest is b/s

Because sometimes, you could make just as much progress on a smaller amount of sets...

Lol well thank you for the respect not like some other people and I don't want to overtrain but I do usually a good workout like that in a hour bo more than an hour
Deadlift 5x5
BB row 5x5
Shrugs 3x12 (for more hypertrophy)
DB curls alternating between hammer and normal each set (4 sets)
If you need more i'd add some chin ups and pull ups but phuck machines, they assist your range of motion so they don't force your muscles to adapt and stabilize how they do with free weights.
bent over rows
tbar rows
pull ups
shrugs
barbell curls
Deads, Row, Pulldown, Seated Row, BB Curl, Hammers if your not tired and need that many exercises ur not doin it rite

seriously your supposed to lift big eat big grow big, not worry about over training, if you don't push yourself past what you used to do you will never get any bigger
ps. go to the gym 5 days a week
