Hello Nath

I just read your new work out and first impression was that you're training too often and possibly not heavy enough.

The reasons being:

1) You're training "Back" twice a week, really if you are going heavy you won't be able to train it twice in one week as you will need the recovery.
2) You include legs and back in the same workout - again two massive muscle groups hit on the same day will not get the best results for you.

IMHO you should reduce your training days down to 3 per week to allow for greater recovery and do this split (or similar)

Monday - (Heavy)
Chest, Shoulders, Triceps (your tri's will be getting hammered in the bench and military presses anyway so you may as well finish what you started)

Wednesday
Back, traps and biceps (As above, you will use your Bi's in your chins and lat pulldowns)

Saturday
Legs including calves

I think you are over-complicating things and not pairing the right exercises to allow for more rest/growing time.

I'm sure some will argue but this is the split I would follow.
