I plan on starting monday. Any help would be appreciated.

I hate to sound like a broken record in the workout forum but I would always put leg day after your longest rest period unless you are specifically lacking in chest development/strength and want to prioritize. Also, I would consider switching day 3 and day 4 and add then deadlifts to back day so you are deadlifting on a days rest.

I agree with switching day 3 and 4, and DL are a stape for back. I personally do chest monday and legs tuesday with wednesday off, becuase I find I need the rest after legs and before back. However I think it is personal preference.

In terms of exercises - WAY TOO MANY. If you plan on doing 3 sets each or even 2 sets each you are gonna be doing 20+ sets per muscle almost (major ones at least). I say you should focus on the following:

Day 1 Mon.

1. Flat Dumbell Press (alternate with barbell press)
2. Incline dumbell press (alternate with barbell press)
3. Flat dumbell flys
4. Weighted chest dips
5. Tricep pushdowns (v-bar)
6. Skullcrusher
7. One arm reverse pulldowns

Day 2 Tues.

1. Squats
2. Leg press
3. Extensions
4. Stiff Leg Deads
5. Lying Leg curls
6. Standing calve raises (alternate with seated calve raises)
7. Donkey raises
8. Ab cable crunches
9. Hanging leg raises (alternate with reverse crunches)

Weds OFF

Day 3 Thurs.

1. Rotator cuff exercises
2. Dumbbel shoulder press
3. Standing laterals
4. Reverse peckdeck (hits rear delts well)
5. Barbell shrugs (do a few with the bar in front of you, a few with the bar behind you. Ditch the upright rows, they are terrible for your shoulders)
6. 4 way neck machine

Day 4 Fri.

1. Deadlifts
2. Seated cable rows (alternate with bent over barbell rows and dumbbell rows)
3. Lat pull down wide grip
4. Serratus pulldowns
5. Standing Barbelll curls
6. Seated EZ-bar preacher curls
7. Incline dumbbell curls
8. Forearm curls
