Push/Pull fans out there? Advice?
I've been doing my push/pull routine for awhile now and am contemplating switching it up. I do the below, or a slight variation of the below about 4 days a week:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
Push
Dumbbell Bench Press – 3 of 8
Dips – 3 of 8
Decline Bench Press – 3 of 8
Vertical Press (Machine) – 3 of 8
Overhead Dumbbell Press – 3 of 8
Tate Press – 3 of 8
Fly’s (Machine) – 3 of 8
Shoulder Press (Machine) – 3 of 8
Pull
Sitting Arm Curls (Machine) – 3 of 8
Shoulder Shrugs – 3 of 8
Standing Dumbbell Curls – 3 of 8
Single Arm Dumbbell Row – 3 of 8
Barbell Deadlift – 3 of 8
Chinups – 3 of 8
Reverse Fly (Machine) – 3 of 8
Straight Arm Pulldown (Machine) – 3 of 8
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
The workout has been good to me and the best part about it is it's easy to remember!
Any advice on what I may want to swap in or out of it?
Thanks for the advice!

Obviously not necessary, but I like to do some seated cable rows for Pull days.
