You could try to replace the:
Shoulder Press with Arnold Press
Incline Press with Decline Press"Don't take life to seriously, nobody makes it out alive anyway."

you're routine needs to be changed. too long for one routine
here are some pointers:
- keep pushing muscles together eg. chest worked out with triceps and back with biceps
- or try working on opposites for a while eg. chest and back, biceps/triceps etc.
- put in a day of circuit training (pick an exercise for each body part and go through it from largest to smallest muscles with minimal rest between each muscle)
superset exercises (works well when working on opposites on the same day) eg. preacher curl(biceps) with skull crushers(triceps)
watch how much time you rest between sets. by going over two minutes you lose a lot of that tension you worked hard on getting during the previous set (45-60s for light weights/high reps, 60-90s for heavy weight 6-10 reps, and 3-5 minutes for power lifting-1-5 reps with extremely heavy weight)
come up with a good superset program that allows you to go from body part 1 to body part 2. that has helped in the past
hope this helps
