Help needed with slowing gains

[Nasdaq Dow Jones]

Hi guys

I've being training seriously now for about seven months and have made good gains. However this has really slown down over the last couple. This is most likely to do with my training as my diet seems sound enough (6meals a day around 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight, 3 gs of complex carbs per pound of body weight and a fair amount of healthy fats).
I currently train twice a week (no legs, this is because I have lost confidence in training them after a recent operation, I plan to train them again in the next few months). Body Type- Ecto/meso morph
Day 1
Chest/Biceps

Dumbell or Smith Bench Press (2 sets) final set to failure
Incline Bench Press " "
Dumbell curl (2 sets) final set to failure
Concentration curl " "

Day two
Shoulder/back/triceps

Dumbell shoulder press (2 sets) final to failure
Lateral raises " "
Deadlifts " "
Rows machine " "
Weighted dips" "
1 set of pushdowns to failure
Shrugs

Do any of you have any suggestions on what I can do as it feels like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

Are you able to up the volume at all? Maybe going 4-5 days with Chest and Back getting their own days. A shock is sometimes all it takes...

The thing is, is that I'm reluctant to train 4-5 days a week, I feel I will not be getting enough rest being more fatigued throughout the week. I have switched days around training different muscles on different days than previous workouts. I try to incease the weight as much as I can, it just doesnt seem to be working

Some people respond to 1-2 days a week, I guess. 4-5 days will leave you with plenty of rest time during the week.

If you don't want to add too many days maybe go with a MWF Squat/Bench/Dead based routine. That always makes me grow with relatively low volume...Kind of "powerliftingish." Just hit the muscles involved with benching on bench day, for example:

Flat Bench 6x4
Inc DB press 2x8
BB Sh press 2x8
Laterals 2x12
CG Press 3x8-10
Crushers 2x10

It's 17 sets, but you only hit each group for like 5-8 direct sets...

all i can say is... 2 sets hardly does anything for myself... start doing 4-5 sets 5-8 reps and u may start seeing increases..

u could also do a 3 day split and inbetween chest and shoulders do like speed bench to shock the nervous system..
