    Christ that is a lot of stuff, burnout much? Do you do a bi/tri day or is this one another day like chest or back? You've got an awful lot of pushdown stuff in there. Have you tried close grip bench press or kickbacks?

    If you're going to do skull crushers and push downs back to back, try the pushdowns with your palms facing upwards and use an EZ bar attachment.

    Consider adding dips (do weighted so you stay in range of 6-8 reps a set)keep the ROM at above paralell.

    If you're hitting everything 2x that hard then when is your recovery time?

    some times less is more

    i dont know how offen you do it but if 2+ times a week you might be overtraining

    by the way, if you like high volume method you might want to try the bear system by pavel
    it calls for

    lets call your 90% from your 5rm X

    do first set of 5 rep with X
    then lower the weight to 90% from X for 5 rep
    then lower the weight to 80% from X for 5 rep
    now keep doing the 80%rm5 for 5 rep till your form breaks (10-20 set overall)

    dont hit failure and get 60 sec rest between sets...
