SpartaWrestler Monday- Chest, Tris Flat Bench Flat Bench flies Decline Bench Incline Bench Dips Wednesday- Back, Bis Close Grip Chinup Wide Grip Pulldowns Seated rows Bent over rows Deadlift Friday- Legs, Shoulders Squats Calf raises Lunges Military/Arnold Press Front Raises Shrugs Upright Rows Lateral Raises ^ Better routine - And there's no point doing abs every night, do them twice a week, three times maximum. If you want to add a tricep or bicep iso on their days you can, but i doubt you'll need it.

Another comment I'd like to add, if you're strong enough to do chins I don't see why you wouldn't be strong enough to do pullups, so I would exclude the chins and replace them with pullups are they're overall better than a latpulldown due to the fact you're working with your own body and it utilizes core to stabilize your own bodyweight... Military presses and arnold presses are different, one involves change of the wrist position while the other involves feet placement to be together. Also, I would remove upright rows, they're hard on the rotator cuffs and the anterior deltoids are already getting plenty of direct stimulus.

SpartaWrestler Monday- Chest, Shoulders, Tris Flat Bench Shoulder Press Decline Bench Incline Bench Weighted Dips Tricep extensions Wednesday- Back, Bis, Forearms Wide grip pullups Seated Row Lat raises (this is a shoulder movement << unnecessary anyway) Deadlift 2 back machines I'm not sure of the names (back is already being worked, machine compound rows are good though) Standing straight bar curls (previously had WAYY too much volume for biceps, small muscle group, needs very little direct attention) Friday- Legs Squats Leg Press Calf raises Weighted lunges I do abs and stretching every night and cardio on my off days. ( also do 30-40mins of cardio after lifting) << this is unnecessary, do ab's every other session and cardio every other sesion, the sessions you're doing abs, exclude cardio and vice versa. I fixed how I thought it would be better.

That's why I put chin ups and pulldowns, one using core strength the other focusing purely on lats MVP Military presses and arnold presses are different, one involves change of the wrist position while the other involves feet placement to be together. I put 'or' because they are practically the same movement with small variations, and these often come down to which you prefer MVP Also, I would remove upright rows, they're hard on the rotator cuffs and the anterior deltoids are already getting plenty of direct stimulus. Imo these are a great exercise to add especially when you get that squeeze at the top of the movment, you just have to make sure not to go too heavy. The best way to do it safely is on the pully machine where you can lie out on the floor with a straight back making sure you aren't leaning forward. However either routine is good.

IMO, every movement that can be core movements should be core movements. I put 'or' because they are practically the same movement with small variations, and these often come down to which you prefer Both are anterior delt dominant, but the conventional overhead presses are a more natural movement.
