Need help on my routine

After my last post, I started doin this-

Sunday: Chest/Triceps,
Bench Press (10, 8, 6)
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)

Monday: off

Tuesday: Back/Biceps,
Bent over rows (10, 8, 6, 5)
Seated Row (10, 8, 6)
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
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)
Lateral Raise (10, 8, 8)
Front Raise (10, 8, 8)

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?

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

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

Please refer to the stickies. Your program is very imbalanced.
