    It looks good bro, but these are a few suggestions, take it or leave it.

    1) Switch machine flyes to dumbbell flyes (or maybe even both?)
    2) Incorporate close-grip bench and skullcrushers for tri's
    3) Include chin-ups (or do it in place of lat pull-downs)
    4) Start out the shoulder routine with the clean and press

    I'm with Hamish. I'd drop the tricep kickbacks. Add in Overhead DB Extensions, skull crushers, and/or weighted dips. Not all on the same day. Switch it up.

    Looks pretty good, a bit heavy in some areas but the 5x5 is great for your bread and butter exercises. what i like about your routine, no fluff, except for the tri kick backs.
