rest between sets is 1 minute and between exercises 2 minutes..

every three weeks i change the times to 2 mins and 3 minutes as above..

i do trap work on back day and depending on how i feel i will add one or two sets or one exercise like: seated rows, barbell press(if my shoulder feels ok cause i got a joint problem on my left shoulder hence why i use DBs), dumbell flys 1xincline, 1xflat... sometimes i do 4-5 sets of squats and on my 4th set i go heavy with 6 reps at 140kgs

my arms are alright.. my chest is the only thing completely refusing to grow to matter what.. i might try 2x a week on chest to see how it will respond.... probably on day 6
