I think that is too many isolation exercises personally. But if you do heavy compound exercises on your other work out days then it may not be too bad.

You may want to try dropping one exercise bi, one tri to lower reps and really heavy weight.

If you are trying to gain size, this probably is not the best way to go. Too much, more calorie burn than anything. Tough with the supersetting to properly overload the muscle. This is what intices the muscle to grow. Not endless work.
