    You're doing SS with suicidal volume. You squat and deadlift every single day, except instead of the cut back volume on the other lifts (which is what makes SS work), you just throw in everything. I'd like to see you deadlift anything near your PR after doing 27 sets of other exercises on Wednesday.

    If you put an exercise in your program, it should be there for a reason.

    All you've done is throw in random exercises in a seemingly random order, in an effort to do everything at once.

    If you want more volume, switch to babylover's version of SS - you'll notice even that doesn't throw in another 7 random exercises onto SS.

    Do a pre-made program, OP, because right now you don't know enough to make a routine yourself, clearly.

    So..
    full body 3x a week, fine i guess, not sure about squatting and deading on the same day though... how are your lifts? (dead/squat/bench)
    Personally if i was you, i would move to a Power / Hypertrophy split, but if you're gaining strength fine, and gaining size fine the way you are training (10lbs of muscle in 6 months is great), then stick to what you are doing and maybe change some minor things to suit lagging bodyparts (if you have any at this point).
