You may want to try an antagonist type workout rather than what you are doing. I believe you will see your strength go up rather dramatically in the second bodypart of each of your workouts. Case in point, back and biceps. Biceps are heavily utilized in a back workout anyway, so they are already fairly fatigued by the time you start them. This will lower the overload you can subject them to , and may well lead to less recovery by overtraining them. Same for chest and shoulders, as shoulders are a big part of your chest workout. Working shoulders on an opposite day should really see a noticeable improvement in shoulder strength and recovery.

I could be wrong, but i understood it as train shoulders on a different day than chest and train biceps on a different day than back.
