I reckon I could smash every one of those training sessions in 20 minutes. Make the first exercise of each session a heavy and hard one. Then do higher volume on your accessories. Also, start squatting without a machine.

My advise is to do more reps on the calf raises. I read in a magazine in a magazine that more reps work better for calves and from my personal experience, I feel the workout was better for them when I do 16-20 reps. This is just me though.

I'm confused on some of the exercise names but here it goes.
I'd say add in some Decline Bench on your chest day.
Is your back not cooked from doing the 5 sets of regular deadlifts?
I'd add in Wide grip Pull-ups or some sort of chin-up to your back day.
For shoulders I'd add in Upright-rows, one of my favorites.
Wheres the Traps? maybe add in BB (behind-the-back or in front) shrugs or DB shrugs on either your shoulder or back day (I prefer shoulder).
For arms its all really personal preference, I like it heavy so I do close-grip bench and some incline skullcrushers, those are my favorites. I'd say take out Cable Curls and put in another Tricep maybe Underhand Pushdowns to hit the medial head of the Tri.
I tend to split it up a bit different so I am not working anything of the same bodypart right next to eachother maybe something like: Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, Legs repeat. just because working Shoulders then Chest is a bit harsh on my Shoulders and working Arms then Back is a bit harsh on my Bi's.
Not sure what your goals/stats are and what your trying to go for but maybe try switching the rep ranges up a bit.
Anyways, I dont know much but hope I helped a bit.
