Nice to see you putting in work six days a week bro. You’ll build muscle faster if you focus on heavy compounds instead of just machines and isolation work. Chest day isn’t just flys and cable curls — hit bench or weighted dips and incline DB presses, then finish with a pump movement. For back day add vertical pulls (weighted chin-ups / pull‑ups) and some sort of hip hinge like rack pulls or RDLs to thicken your traps and lats; broad lats give you that halo effect.

Your leg day is all machines except one set of squats. Swap leg press/extension for squats and RDLs if you can, and throw in calf raises + tibialis work for lower legmaxxing. Don’t forget shoulders/delts; 3D delts and traps make your frame look wider and improve head/neck ratio.

Keep the 10–15k steps and high protein, but once you’re lean you should go to a small surplus to gain muscle. Track your lifts and aim to add weight/reps each week—progressive overload plus consistency is what actually builds mass. What are you doing for shoulder/neck work right now?

but seriously u wanna get muscle as fast as u can so first lower your volume it's way too much then if u wanna train 6 days and don't only have 45m do ul x3 to get x3 frequency or anterior posterior x3 or whateaver if u don't like going 6 days or u can't either do 2.5x frequency or 2x or 3/3.5(if u do fbeod but it's a split for unemployed niggas), u gotta train at high intensity and i mean really high intensity 0-1 RiR or failure train to failure because u need to learn how to gauge RiR probably, focus on stable exercises and on machines while still keeping a part of enjoyment for example if u love wide grip lat pulldowns do them instead of like a keenan flap or wide grip weighted pull up.

for me this plan is not bad, I spend a lot of time at the gym

u could spend it way better for example doing isolation plus fixed reps is atrocious the exercises are pretty bad, the whole split is fatigue maxxing if u wanna stay a lot to the gym do fbeod or ppl or ulx3 but do it better

Keep max to 2 sets 1 warm up the other till failure 6-12 reps with weight you can control and hold its not about the res or sets it about max intensity you can give in 1-2 sets listen to Mike Mentzer once you will get what I mean

Gym is simple, get the right protein intake, stay consistent, and have a decent enough split.

Ur split is casual, but to optimize muscle growth, you need to switch it up.

Use a science based split, as they are scientifically proven to increase muscle growth.
such as U/L/R ( Upper body/ Lower body Rest Repeat ) or Fbeod ( Full body every other day )
and for the exercises, u are doing too many reps TOO many. You should be doing 6-8 reps and 2 sets MAX.
UPPER:
Chest: Peck deck 2x6-8, Chest fly (incline) u can switch the incline in ur upper days like upper b.
back: A vertical and horizontal movement, for example. Lat pulldowns (vertical) and rows (horizontal) 2x6-8
Kelso shrugs (search them up if ydk them.) upper traps. 1x6-8
Shoulders: cable lat raises OR machine, reverse fly 2x6-8
Triceps: Pushdown and Dip or JM press 2x6-8 No RIR
biceps: preacher curl and hammer curl ( or reverse) u can switch them on Upper b for incline curls.
Abs: u need flexion, Leg raises, decline sit ups, crunchs 2x10 max (abs are like any muscle, so train they like any.)
 
Terrible volume and extremely redundant

Holy cardio way too much volume. You're telling me you do 22 sets a week hitting chest? Unless you are an advanced lfiter on steroids this is WAY too high, you picked good lifts but a bad set/rep range. You're going to be overfatigued (both the muscles and your CNS) and not be able to get as much motor recruitment for mechanical tension

Using machines is fine by the way and best for growing in size
