Hey guys I'm new here, and I've been working out for about 6 months now. I was wondering if you guys could critique a routine that I've just started doing:

Any advice would greatly be apprecitaed. My main goal is to get a cutter look while building overal muscle mass.

Do an average of 3 sets per exercise, with 6-8 reps each. Add an extra set if feeling strong for a specific exercise.

Day 1 ??? Quads/Calves
- Squats
- Hack Squats/Leg Press (Alternate)
- Leg Extensions
- Lying Leg Curls
- Calf Raise

Day 2 ??? Shoulders/Abs/Oblique
- Shoulder Press
- Dumbbell Rear Lateral Raise
- Rear Deltoid Row
- Captain Crunch (25 reps each set)
- Kneeups (25 reps each set)
- Dumbbell Side Bend
- Oblique Sit-ups

Day 3 ??? Cardio

Day 4 ??? Chest/Triceps
- Incline Barbell/Dumbbell (Alternate)
- Flat Bench Barbell Press
- Flat Bench Flies
- Lying Triceps Extension (Skull Crushers)
- Triceps Pushdown
- Parallel Bench or Machine Dips
- Reverse Grip Pushdowns (same as triceps pushdown, with underhand grip)

Day 5 ??? Back/Biceps
- Lat Pull-down
- Bent Over Row
- Seated Row *
- Preacher Curls
- Standing Bicep Curls
- Hammer Curls
- Reverse Curls

Day 6 ??? Cardio

I'd like to add variation to promote muscle growth, so changing exercises were applicable from dumbbells to barbells and vice versa. I've also stated other exercises that I could alternate in place of the other on evrey other week.
I'd like to do dropsets, but I'm not to sure which exercise I could do them on.

Thanks in advance!
 
Assuming 3 sets per exercise, you're doing 9 sets for chest (large muscle) and 12 for triceps (small muscle). Also, 9 for back (large) and 12 for biceps (small). This is backwards. The larger muscles need more work than smaller muscles.
 
I'd drop leg extensions and opt for another hamstring exercise - maybe SLDL? It looks like you're hammering your quads with the squats and leg press/hack squat. Adding more volume to the quads may be overtraining them a bit.

On back day, I'd try to incorporate deadlifts into the routine. If not every week, maybe do them every other week.
