Are you using too many sets in your workouts?
Let me introduce you to a concept known as "junk volume". Completely beating up a muscle by doing more and more sets can actually decreases your results.
Your muscles have a limited recovery capacity. For most muscle groups, if you train them with between 10-20 sets per week, you will see good development [1].
If you are a more advanced lifter, perform closer to 20 sets per week. While beginner trainees can stay closer to 10 sets per muscle in a week.
Especially if you train close to failure, doing more is not always better!
