I've been trying to increase volume, that's why I added the cable crosses. Any other chest stuff I should try?
Why do you want to increase volume?
Don't add more unless you have to. If you're progressing with less, that's perfect. Don't add just to add. More isn't always better.
Just looked again at your routine. You're doing 20 sets for chest, that's a fukk ton! I'd bet if you cut that in half, and did them better, you'd progress faster.
Fwiw, I think having both chest fly machine and cable crossovers, might be a bit redundant. They're both basically the same exercise.

Gotta eat brother. Put that quality meat on your frame. Consistent solid eating, training and rest will bring you the hard gains your looking for
Any pics from your adductor set?

Day 4 in Playa del Carmen was leg day. This Hilton is badass. Best hotel gym I've seen. 2 separate racks of dumbells, all the most common machines covered. Only slightly bummed about the smith machine in place of a standard rack, but for a hotel that's still awesome. Lots of cardio stuff too. You can't see it all in the pic.
Anyhow it's been easy keeping up my routine here. Wifey keeps telling me I look better than all the other old farts out here LOL. Met a jacked up bodybuilder at the gym today. He's gay too, here with his partner, y'all would absolutely love this guy! He'd fit right in.
Back at my home gym today for arm day. I lifted every full day I was on vacation and not traveling (4 days).

I didn't plan out these rep numbers, just kept doing the most I could do with the weight. Also I'm nursing some tendonitis in my right elbow and ezbar tends to not trigger it as much.

Also I ate ice cream and dessert every day on vacation, so I think I put on some fat. Other than that though my diet was good and I kept up my protein intake.
