That’s a shite ton of volume. No squats or conventional deadlifts? It feels like you’re all over the place, but I’m not the most educated one here in terms of programming.

I think it isolated body parts daily and you work a body part at most 2/week. No squats as can’t do them

So i will go 4 times a week usually Wednesday my rest day

week 1 ABCA
Wk 2 BCAB
Wk 3 CABC



Or that’s the theory I have on it

Again maybe I’m dumb (most likely) which is why I asked for opinion help.

1. Start with larger muscle groups then work smaller

2. Add in more compound lifts

3. Focus on your main compound lifts. You don’t need much volume on accessory lifts if you lift heavy (and technically sound!!) on your main lifts

Lot of volume for similar lifts. In my experience there's diminishing returns the more sets you do.

I'd do 2 lifts per muscle group, max. Fill in some gaps with trap and forearm work.

If you're dead set on doing more lifts and want better value from your work, split your program into 4 days and hit major muscle groups with compound lifts twice a week, and small isolations once a week.
