I wouldn't say that was too much mate, I probably do about as many sets as that and train 3 - 4 times a week.

I dunno what everyone else thinis but that sounds ok to me. Do you feel like you are over training - i.e tired all the time or not progressing?

Do you mean u do 18 times max12 reps on bi's alone, that sounds like alot.

I do say bi's and back and do 4 exercises per a muscle group with 3 sets of 12-10-8 reps, so only 8 exercises at 3 sets each per a gym session. Do you have the over training symptoms, injury or constant sorness, bad joints, fatigue, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping are the main ones.

IMO your overtraining, I do 9 sets of 8-10 reps per bodypart, usually less for the smaller muscles.

Also i wouldn't advise training your chest and back on the same day.

Try

1. Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

2. Back, Biceps, Traps

3. Legs

Can u do chest and shoulders together?

Seems harsh.

thanks just wondering wot are traps?

Your shoulders aint that big of a muscle, i've allways trained my shoulders with chest and there one of my best parts! personal preference I guess

Traps are the muscle that runs from your the back of your neck to the back of your shoulders.
