IMO you're overtraining. You need to give each body part enough time to heal before attacking it again because you're not giving it enough time to heal/grow before straining it again. Keep in mind that chest and shoulders utilize a lot of tricep muscle, so in essence your workout has you working your triceps a bit at least 6 days a week! Too much! Were you going to plan on working your legs ever? Cavles, hamstrings or quads? What about abs?

My workout is usually something like this:

Day 1: Chest/Triceps/Abdomen and 1 hr of cardio
Day 2: Back/Biceps and 1 hr of cardio
Day 3: Quads/Abdomen and 1 hr of cardio
Day 4: Shoulders/calves/hamstrings and 1 hr of cardio
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Repeat

I was able to lose about 15lbs of fat in 2 months through this workout and no change in my eating habits or activities.
