    you aren't posting any work out at all. you are just listing body parts.

    yes because thats the muscle groups being worked. my point was asking if i should lower some sets or lowers the amount of exercises per muscle group

    I think scrap your program and do Stronglifts 5x5, you'll be done in an hour 3 - 4 days a week.

    or a push/pull split. too many reps bruh! ...well, depends on your goals though.

    I use the workouts recommended in my total trainer booklet, they are well balanced. I work in 2 circuits each having 2 sets of each exercise 8 reps each, this takes me over an hour but I do concentrate on doing all the reps properly with the resistance rail set at a challenging level. I have a separate leg day for squats and lunges as I have outgrown the total trainer leg exercises.

    If the total gym is the same then RTFM and do one or more of the recommended workouts would be my advice.

    this doesn't matter. doms doesn't mean you had a great workout, or didn't. If i try to train until I get doms in my quads I'll train myself into the ground and injure myself.and I have.
