A good exercise selection but too much volume. Generally I recommend 12 to 20 sets per workout, give or take.

The heavy compound lifts will tax your smaller muscle groups quite a bit so you won't need a huge amount of direct bicep, tricep and calf work.

I would start with 3-4 exercises for big muscles and about 2 for smaller groups. If you leave any exercises out that you want to perform, you can always rotate them in.

Thank you very much, will cut out about 2 from the Biceps and Triceps in the Back and Chest routine, will re-think anything else.

You have some good exercises. Stick with the biggies. They'll serve you well.
