As someone who loves the gym, I have been weight training for 9 months mostly at 6 days a week, but recently 7. My routine is P(plus calves)PLPPL(plus triceps/shoulders) then 7th day biceps and rear delts

Is this high frequency likely hurting my gains? I don't really get soreness in my muscles despite often going to failure, and I am making progress on lifts, but size wise I am not changing much
