Drop the shakes and EAT REAL FOOD!!!!
You will grow.
You will grow.
Why can't I grow?

A few things off the top of my head.
"Not enough carbs"
"Your routine is cardio intensive"
"You are tall so chances are you have a fast metabolism"
"You are relying on shakes which are more likely to be converted to glucose"
Add these 4 together and what you are doing is creating a state in your body where the PROTEIN you eat is being used for energy. It's being broken down and not being used for protein synthesis.
So the first thing you need to do is increase your calories, eat 4500-5000 cals a day.
No more than 2 shakes a day (1 post workout shake)
switch ratios to 50 % carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat

OVERTRAINING, OVERTRAINING, OVERTRAINING!!!
Some people are afraid that training less frequently will hinder growth - it is quite the opposite! You grow only when you rest, not in the gym. So do one body part per workout, try 3 sets per exercise, not more than 4 exercises per muscle group. Hit them hard, rest plenty, eat well and watch those muscles grow.
And yes, real food is much better than shakes.
Good luck!

Bro you are doing WAY too much volume. I would check out the DC training sticky at the top of the training forum.
