Yeah not that much volume really, nothing to worry about

I donāt think your original post really conveys an excessive amount of volume (Iāve done a hell of a lot more), BUT, I will say that if your delts are a weak point, assess whether youāre missing out on targeting the areas that would make them appear better or not.
IMO, too many people do a zillion presses, and then wonder why their delts donāt look round and swole. When I was training for competitions, I used to have a day specifically for my overall shoulders, and a second day where I was training something else, but would also incorporate work for medial and posterior delt heads. The point being that these areas are what greatly contribute to the rounded look most competitors are going for. So even with no pressing movements, Iād still do about 10 sets of various laterals type movements, on my second ādeltā day.

Stu, what do you think about training a lagging body part for 3-4 days a week? High frequency? I am hitting arms (both bi and tri) 4 days a week directly at the end of the workouts (4-6 sets of 8-15 each). I rotate the movements a bit for each. Is this too much? I am more focusing on slow negatives and not total weight moved. Want to finally have some big arms.
I think frequency can be a useful variable to address, within reason. Whenever Iāve personally had a lagging body part, I would have a main day hitting it, and then a secondary day where I would add work for it, but not to the extent of the main day. Think a primary and a secondary training session. Almost like hitting it one and a half times each rotation.
You donāt want to go too crazy with smaller body parts like biceps and triceps because They also receive plenty of work as secondary movers when you do chest shoulders and back.
