Incline press (dumbells)(10, 8, 8)
Dumbell Flies (10, 8, 8)
Dips (10, 8, 8)
Skull Crushers (10, 8, 6)
Close Grip Bench Press (10, 8, 6)...too much tricep work, drop one of these tricep exercises....also dont change the reps, pick one foe each exercise and stick with it.

Monday: off

Tuesday: Back/Biceps,
Bent over rows (10, 8, 6, 5)
Seated Row (10, 8, 6).....do something else..T-bar or cgpd
Pull-ups with grip facing outwards (10, 8, 6, 5)
Preacher curls (10, 8, 8)
Hammer curls (10, 8, 8)

Wednesday: off

Thursday: Legs
Squats (10, 8, 6, 5)
Leg press (10, 8, 6, 5)
Seated Calf Raise (12, 10, 8)
Standing Calf Raise (12, 10, 8)
Lying Leg Curls (12, 10, 8, 6, 5)

Friday: Shoulders/Traps/Forearms...do forearms with biceps
Shrugs with Dumbbells (10, 8, 8)
Wrist Curls (10, 8, 6)
Inverse preacher curls (10, 8, 6)
Upright Row (10, 8, 6)
Military Press dumbbells (10, 8, 6)...do this first and do 4 sets
Lateral Raise (10, 8, 8)
Front Raise (10, 8, 8)...do laterals only ...don't think you need both

two questions...First, how is this program as it is? Second, I want to switch to doing a push/pull routine, because everyone on here has given a lot of reasons that it is better, but I don't really know how to organize it. Can anyone stick my excercises in a routine that is based on pushed/pull rather then bodyparts?

Just a quick look

T-bar or cgpd..what is this? Also, when you say don't change the reps do you mean I should do like 8 x 8 x 8, rather than pyramid it?

T-bar is another type of row, cgpd is close grip pull downs...like normal pull downs but your hands are like 5-7 inches apart. I wouldnt pyramid....you could do sets of 8 for bench then do sets of 10 for incline and sets of 12 for flys....just an example
