It looks OK to me bro. But if you've been doing it for 6 years it's way past time for a change up in the routine. You're not sore because your body is used to what you are doing. Shock it some.

Cut the number of sets in half. Provide more energy for recovery. I would bet money you will notice a dramatic increase in strength in a few weeks

I would probably combine my bi and tri workout in one day and take another day to rest.... resting is when you make your gains... also if your not getting sore try moving the weight more slowly... i was doing that german training for awhile .. down 4 count.. stop... up 2 count.... ive incorporated that into the first two sets of all my exercises... and it has worked well for me.... actually changing your routine in any way will be helpful if you have been doing the same thing for 6 years

your workout seems decent except for back day.your choice of exercises arent the best.youre missing chinups and dumbell pullovers.t-bars wouldnt hurt either.
after doing back.take 20 minutes to strech your lats if you wanna get wide.

why don't you double up chest-tri's, back-bi's, and delts-traps in order to have more resting days...give your muscles time to repair. You grow when you are not lifting.

Eat super clean 6 days a week
eat every 2 hours
lift until you puke
rest, rest, rest
relax and enjoy being blowed-up

I agree with Raverdude. If you want, switch the pec deck with incline bench and you'll develop a great chest. Also, do some chinups or lat pulldowns. Shrugs should be left to when you train shoulders. You also might want to incorporate wrist curls for your forearms and do some standing and sitting calf raises for your calves.

Shocking yer muscle is a good way to grow, if you've been working out 6 years with the same routine your muscles are definitly getting used to it. Change up your exercizes, like instead of using the bar on chest day, switch to dumbells... Never start with the same exersize, even though some people like to start with inclines because they are harder to do when your fatigued but it will help if you always do something different. (same goes with any other muscle.. just basing it on chest workouts...)
