Questions on my Volume Routine

Training Bodybuilding

Hey guys was wondering if you could help me out with my volume routine. I read about Bauer’s routine and thought it might be time to try something new aside from my usually -8 rep routine.

This is it so far:
Sets 4 Reps 8-12
Sun-Chest
Incline DB
Dips
HS Decline
Fly Machine
DB Fly to Squeeze Press

Mon-Back
Deadlift
Weighted Pullup
DB Rows
Cable Wide Grip Pulldown
Cable Rows
Cable Rear Delt flies

Tues-Shoulders/Calves
DB Shoulder Press
Arnold Press
Lateral Raises
Javelin Press
Standing Calf raise
Seated "

Thurs-Legs reps 12-15
Squats
RDL
Lunges
Leg Curls
Leg Press

Fri-Arms/Calves
Partial Overhead press
Weighted close grip chins
Close grip bench
EZ bar curls
Decline tricep extension

Sat- Core/cardio

This is my second week into the routine needless to say its fucking killer. But Im loving it so far.

my main questions are:
How long would be optimal to stay on this routine, 4-5 weeks?
Are my exercise selections pretty good?
Should I try to increase weight on every exercise every workout? (I only increased on my first 2 this morning)
Is there a better cure for DOMs than long walks?
My leg strength is zapped by the time I get to leg press should I switch it for a more isolational exercise like bulgarian split squats?

Dont worry about foor 5-6k a day at least here 8 if Im real hungry.

1rst question: Stay on it until you stop progressing. If it works for 2 months then use it for two months. If it works for two years… well you get the point.

2nd question: All those exercises are just fine.

3rd Question: I wouldn’t say EVERY exercise. Focus mostly on your compound lift numbers.

4th question: FOam rollers and Ice

5th question: That’s actually a really good question. I’m assuming you are doing a compound lift first? My reccomendation would be to switch your stance. If you are hitting the same muscles, then yeah I’d imagine they would be zapped!

Eat 12k calories like Michael Phelps. JK
