take a day off then repeat except change compound lift to another exercise
After 3 weeks will throw a week in of pure hypertrophy every exercise 8-12, including compound lifts just dropping the amount of sets a little. After this week will jump right back to the routine posted above.
I know volume seems high but i'm currently bulking
Not bad, but there's a few things which I personally would change. You probably only really want to do 6-9 sets a week on your biceps, its just one major muscle and a couple of smaller satellite muscles. If it was me, i would just stick with just the hammer curls and the preacher curls.
Also, I would probably strip down the chest workout, too. Maybe just do decline press, incline press and the flies? It's just personal preference, I guess. I used to get a lot of tendon injuries so I tend to do fewer sets.
Have you thought about adding some ab work and some lower an work?
