    Nothing wrong with the volume but the routine is just.... not good at all.

    Without knowing your goals it's hard to really suggest anything but this is just not a good routine.

    What are your goals?

    Hypertrophy w/ strength. (i.e functional hypertrophy)
    I found recently that 5-8 rep range works the best for me, while 8-12 is sucks.

    Volume is fine. Just my opinion but doing shoulders after chest is really hard. You could easily swap the back exercises with shoulders on A and start day B with legs.

    Better progress with this rep range than any other rep range.
