now i do one group per day and i train rugby once a week and play at the weekend, i am needing i think to add in some CV but as you can see its quite a full regime... was thinking about 20 minutes CV 3 times per week. I am trying to bulk up and put on muscle, my supps are as follows: 
**** 2 heavyweight  ( not been the best will be stopping after this cycle)
Pharma Gain
Cyclone
No Xplode 

will be moving on to Gaspari Sizze on caps when i finish the heavyweight..

    On chest day you do 7 chest and 7 arm exercises???

    Way too many exercises in each day IMO.

    For me if I did this split I would do, (just as a basic idea):

    Chest/Arms

    Flat BB Bench
    Incline DB Bench
    Weight Dips
    Curls

    Back

    Chins
    Deadlifts
    Rows

    Legs/Shoulders

    Squats
    Lunges
    SLDL
    Calf Raises
    Military Press / Push Press

    Something along those lines, cut out all the duplicated  and isolation exercises to a min.

    CV I would do on a seperate day.

      Woah that's some serious volume you got there, to put it mildly.  As Griff said you're doing far far too much, plus also if you've listed the exercises in the order you do them then you've got problems there too.

      Griff's suggestion is solid, although my preference would be to do chins after deads & rows, plus I'd do curls on 'back' day & mil press on 'chest' day i.e. a push/pull/legs split.

        As has been suggested. Cut exercices and foucs volume on a few lifts per bodypart or movement patern dependent on your goals.

        As a rugby player foucs your training on getting better at; squats, deadlift, power cleans, OHP, and rows. Add in some other assistance lifts.

        CV is good to do but you also need to fit in some sprint/interval work instead of 3 steady state CV sessions a week.
