    to much bicep isolation exercises, u dont need 4 exercises to hit ur bi's espcially if ur doing 3 sets per exercise, thats 16 sets just on ur biceps
    As for legs, i personally think some of those exercises are kinda useless in the sense that if your squatting and deadlifting, why are you going to leg extensions, i mean i guess its a different way to hit your quads, but overall i think ur over training a little, you should focus more on compound movements
    and the cardio after each session sounds like alot to, id be surprised if anyone tells you your doing ur not doin to much
