IMO that doesn't seem like a great routine. why would you hit biceps, chest, and shoulders on the same day? seems like an odd split

Agreed. Your routine seems all over the place. I don't know what type of training regimen you're using, but this workout doesn't make much sense to me.
Also, you're doing lateral raises with 65 pounds? Is this with dumbbells? 65 pounds per arm, or 32.5 pounds per arm? If you are using dumbbells, I can't imagine you using that kind of weight and doing the movement properly (without cheating). Shoulders are probably my strongest body part, and I would never use that kind of weight for laterals, simply because I wouldn't be able to maintain proper form. With laterals, it's best to use light weight, and excellent form. The heaviest I go is 20 pounds per arm. If you're using a machine, I would start doing your lateral raises with dumbells - much more effective, IMO. Start with 10 pounds per arm, seated (to keep you from cheating) and raise the dumbells slowly as high as you can, lowering them as slowly as possible. Repeat until failure. Unlike many other muscle groups, I find that the side deltoids don't respond well to low-rep sets. Light-weight, high-rep sets with perfect form are far better IMO.
I'd head over to the lifting technique forum and post your weekly routine.
