Sat is a chest day which utilizes shoulders, then the day after you are directly training shoulders. Another thing, why are you training chest and triceps twice, but back and biceps only once. Balance is key to a successful weight training program.

Like today, I did 4 sets of Tricep Cable pushdowns, and still felt I could have done more, though I fear overtraining. If I were to stick roigourously to the plan on Ft, I would of course onlt do chest and Triceps once. thanks for info

You need a motion that is similar to the chest press. Their might be a seated station where you push the weight horizontally.
