Ok, so this routine is what Im planning to do.
I modified my current routine, I cut back a little on the sets so that I can have shorter and more intense workouts.
Before I modified it my workouts were about 50 mins, but I felt like I couldnt go all in with max effort in 50 mins. and I got really tired at the end of the workout.
This routine I think I could do in 30-35 minutes with max effort.
Im a little concerned with the volume though, I read that reps per bodypart should be minimum 20.
But It just cant be done whilst trying to train the same bodypart twice a week and working out really intensively.
So my question is:
Should I do more sets and cut back on intensity OR Keep sets as shown above and use max intensity?

Depends, are you planning on lifting heavy or pyramiding the weight? If you're moving maximum poundage for minimum number of sets and reps you can make gains and get a good workout. but moreso is what is your goal....is it gain mass or cut up?

This is meant to be a bulking program.
Im lifting heavy, same amount of weight for all sets.

Then this should do you fine for a while........keep an eye on your breaks between sets. You don't want them to be short simply because you're moving heavy weights but you don't want them to be too long either.

Yeah I try to keep in mind that Im doing every bodypart twice a week, so that certainly has a lot to say when determining volume.
I only use as long breaks a I feel that i need to do the next set without ****ing up the form.

Take as long as you need to ensure you will be strong on the next set, but not so long that you won't be warm anymore.
Routine looks good.
