    Seems like a lot of volume. How long have you been training?
    Focus on getting STRONGER, size is an inevitable bi-product. If you can't squat with proper form you have no business at the rack.

    Just seems like a lot of sets per bodypart. For example, you're doing 16 sets of chest one day, and then 11 sets of lats and 10 sets of mid trap another day. I'm not saying that high volume training is not effective, it just isn't sustainable in the long term and lifters tend to plateau after a short period of time. If you are periodizing your training than this makes sense, however, if you are planning on a long term hypertrophy phase, for a bulk perhaps, this may not be the most efficient strategy to train each muscle group. maybe try the following suggested changes to the routine:


    Chest
    - Bench Press 4X 10
    - Dips 3X8
    Biceps
    - Chin ups - 2x failure
    -Barbell Curls 3x8

    Day2 - Back/Shoulders/Abs

    Back
    - Pull ups - 6x8
    - Rows Cable - 6x10
    Shoulders - Millitary Press 5x10


    Day3 - Legs/Forearms

    Legs - Squats 5x8-12
    - Deadlifts 3x10
    - Machine Legs Press 4x10

    Again, not perfect but just a suggestion. You don't have to follow it, only a humble opinion. -cheers.
