Seems like alot to me, but I do this amount of sets for each body part now in one session, now its just spread out. I still believe I'm going to be on the safe side of over training. I hope to gain over-all mass and strength from this routine, while using my cardio to maintain shape/definition. Let me know if you see glaring problems and give me what you think I should know. You guys are the best, next to me. lol.
