    chest and arms?

    if your diet is on point, i would consider bench and weighted dips for chest (serious body swing), and CG bench, and weighted tricep dips for tri's (this is where your body is fairly straight). for biceps, weighted chins and barbell curls.

    your split looks like :
    M - chest
    T - back
    W - shoulders / traps
    Th - arms
    F - legs / cardio.

    i would space them out a bit more. on tuesday, your rear delts (and maybe traps) get a workout and you train them hard the next day. i would switch wednesday and fridays workouts if i were in your position. keep your rep ranges between 8-12 for size. one thing i used to do, was when i could get 12 reps, it was time to add some weight (2.5 lbs per side) and shoot for 8 reps. this should keep your mass progressing, while still challenging yourself.

    best of luck to you.

    i usually shoot for 8 to 10 reps if possible usually if i can do more i'll finish the set and add 5lbs a side, thanks for your input i'll try switching it around next week and see how that goes, also i train at home so ive been trying to think of ways i can do dips without going and buying something any suggestions?
