    Does anyone have any comments (both positive or negative) or suggestions on my workout? Am I over training?

    YOu don't need to do 3 pressing movements for shoulders. That's too much. Just one of those, along with Lateral Raises will suffice. On Back day, I would do the weighted pullups instead of the lat pulldowns, meaning do the pullups second after deadlifts, and you really don't need the lat pulldowns if you're doing pullups. Lastly, for Legs, try doing Front Squats or Leg Press instead of Leg Extensions, and Stiff Legged Deadlifts instead of Leg Curls.

    28 sets for chest and shoulders??? WWHHOOAA

    9-12 sets would be plenty

    24 sets for your arms alone????????

    quite possibly one of the worst routines ive seen.....quality is much better than quantity......9 GOOD sets with high intensity are FAR better than 20+ half-assed ones
