    Get rid of the add ons, if you think you can do 5 main exercises then your ab work, and doing that 3 times a week, you are superman or something.

    Agreed, way too much assisstance work for anyone not on steroids. Case in point: you have weighted pull ups, bent over rows and vertical rows all on the same day; you noly really need one. Same thing applies to your other workouts putting 5 assisstance exercises into your bench day seems excessive.

    You also made no mention of grip work, which is very important.

    Your choice of exercises is good. But you are doing too much. I would recommend one main exercise and 3 assistance on push and pull and 2 assisntance on squat.

    that's alot of exercises, how many sets per exercise?
    that's a sick routine dude, i'd suggest maybe instead of military press, substitute w/ push press
    and def. switch it up after a while, sounds good man
