+1.

Try doing some seated rows, close grip pullups and maybe some DB rows and tell me your biceps aren't getting hit hard.

Why did you drop the weight to 225 on your last set when you got 4/3 the two prior sets? Also, don't waste all that energy on pyramiding dude (read: your 185/205 sets). Just warm up and get to your heavy sets. With going lower reps like this, you really should be doing more worksets.

Why are you only doing chest on this day when you don't hit it again until Thursday? At your age, you should be taking advantage of all that damn natty test and hit the muscle groups twice/week. I'd recommend doing shoulders & tris on this day along with chest bro.

would it be better to pump out 1 or 2 on my 3rd set? I'll try cuttin down my warmup.

you sayin I should work every muscle group 2 times a week? I can move my shoulders and tris to chest day, I'd have no problem with that, but that makes a 3 day split instead of 4 and getting in two workouts a week of each means 6 working days, is that what you are suggesting?

No...........

Push Day 1 & 2
- Flat BB Bench
- Incline Bench (DB or BB)
- RGBP (or CGBP)
- BB or DB Military
- any iso stuff you want for chest/tris/delts

Pull/Leg Day 1 & 2
- ATG Squats
- Conv. or Sumo Deads
- SLDLs or Good AMs
- BB Rows
- Chins
- Hips/Groin
- DC Calves
- Rope Crunches
- anything else you wanna do (zerchers, widowmaker leg press, etc)

You'll need to up your nutrition with the extra work. You might not think you can do deads/squats twice a week, but you can.....just listen to your body and adjust nutrition/rest as needed.
