Looks a bit much tbh mate, try dropping to 2/3 sets instead of 5, just a thought, other people on here will tell you more.

Looks like far too much to me - is it working,are you progressing?

Personally id cut back on the sets and lose the arms day.

thats a lot of sets mate.

i find that i gain a lot fro a lots of sets but fewer exercises.

or fewer sets with the same amount of exercises

wouldnt put bi`s and tris before shoulders !! wouldnt get the most out of your shoulder session because your triceps would be aching or tired !
