I try to keep all my workouts in and around 30 sets and that a the maximum.
I would cut down your arm work to 3 exercises and 3 sets of each. Take out the Hack Squats and the Leg Press, that is a lot of heavy Quad work in one work-out. Also, to much calves. Pick 2 exercises and do 2-3 sets. I would take out one Chest exercise.
For back I would take out either Seated Rows or T-Bar rows or switch between the two.
For shoulders you don't really need the Arnold Presses, Clean and Press and Behind the neck presses. Do a 1 Press Exercises, 1 Front delt, 1 Side delt, 1 Rear Delt and 1 Trap Exercise. This is basically all just stuff I prefer but I would definitely lower the volume.

Agreed with the 30 sets per workout. Once you pick the ones you like you can rotate a few of the others in and out.

Cut out the triset on your chest day, drop hack squats on your leg day, choose either t-bar or bentover rows, cut out the behind the neck pulldowns, and at the most do barbell curls, incline dumbells, and hammers. i would take off the arnold press, front raise, and clean and press, add lateral raises in there, and do make your upright rows wide grip, get rid of the superset for traps. Where are you doing rear delts???

that's the thing I was missing was rear delts. I'm trying to figure out what to do.. I was thinking maybe Lying Side Raises

Rear delts are one of the body parts I believe benefit from machines over free weights, as in reverse pec-dec flys. (rear delt fly.) Not having to balance a dumbell on a long lever arm will help you get some mass back there. At least do them until you can handle decent dumbells.

The reverse peck deck is great. If one isn't available then grab some DBells and sit on the edge of a bench, put your feet out far, put the weights on the ground behind your feet but in front of the bench, bend over to a 50degree angle, and row upwards. Great for hitting the rear delt. at the bottom rest position your forearms will be touching your thighs to keep you from swinging. good luck bro!

ok first... what are you goals? size? strength? second how long have you been lifting? are you a beginner... or?
You program still looks like it has a lot of volume in it.

My goals are to bulk up. I am 6'1 185 lbs. I am hoping to get to 205 lbs. I am not a beginner I have been lifting since I was 14 for football. I am currently 18. I'm not sure on my Maxes because I have been lifting by myself, no lifting partner so I haven't really been able to do them.

you are still using a crazy amount of volume. Do 2-3 exercises for 4 sets per bodypart imo.

looks great now bro. I have a similar routine from time to time myself. The great part is you can adjust and throw in old favorites. Give it a try for a week and post how you did.
