day1 upper
day2 rest
day3 lower

day5 upper
6,7 rest
upper A
inc. bench press
military press
WG pull ups
chinups/one hand db rows
upper B
flat bench press
dips
bb bent over rows
seated cable rows/chinups
lower
squats
sldls
hacks
calf work optional
weak A , upperA=(HIGH REP) , upperB=(LOW REP) ,lower=(HIGH REP)
weak B , upperA=(LOW REP) , upperB=(HIGH REP) ,lower=(LOW REP)
skull crushers/cable push downs , biceps curls , shrugs , lat. raises ,rotator cuffs/accesory....done at low rep day ....
I have an idea that for example at upper a I do high rep push and low rep pull and vice versa on upper b .wich is changed every week.... and then I do push isolation at the low rep push day and pull isolation at the low rep pull day...

do you consider inc. bench horizontal or vertical? how steep are you doing them?
Dips are a vertical movement...
Day a:
Flat Bench
BB Rows
Incline Bench (30 degree angle)
DB Rows
Day b:
Military Press
Pull-ups
Dips
Wide Grip Upright Rows or Chin-ups

thats probably because of your front delts.
what grip are you using for bench right now?, here is how you find your grip, use a empty bar, and lower it to your chest, use a grip that makes your forearms vertical (perpendicular to the floor- straight up), if it ends up being wider than your current grip, a wider grip uses more front delt than triceps, so that will probably help you with your military/incline
