    looks like a lot
    why abs so many times?
    how long per day does this take you?
    I see a lot of duplicate ancillary routines, like forearm roll up and reverse curl.
    Personally, i think i'd stream line and focus on the majors after only 4 months back, instead of trying to do everything all at once.

    just my .02

    I was told you can't overwork your abbs. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Shoulder day is the longest. I follow up every workout with 40 min of cardio. Could you give some suggestions on the stream line

    41 yo 5'9" 195 lbs 19% bf.. Goal just to look good enough that my wife can't keep her hands off me I have a very unbalanced body. My chest, back and shoulders look fine I maintained pretty well for 20 years. But my arms look like spong bobs. My forearms are real small, getting bigger. I really want to balance out and get a bit bigger.

    Certain days, shoulders in particular looks a bit overkill. id agree that streamlining it a bit would be a good idea. also abs could be cut out on a few of these day, find a good hard ab routine and do that once, twice a week and mix it up. doing crunches everynight isnt going to get you the results you want and will eventually turn into more of a cardio exercise than anything. if your doing them right they can hurt as much the next day as any muscle group and you wont be up for doing them everyday.

    Also your chest workout may suffer since you hit tris the day before. Many chest movements already involve tris so you are working tris twice in a row. This is just one suggestion that would streamline your workout. I will just list the exercises and you can do sets and reps as you see fit.
    Day 1 Shoulders/arms
    OHP barbell or dumbbell press
    lateral raises
    rear delt flys or face pulls
    A1) barbel curls
    A2) lying tricep ext
    B1) incline curls
    B2) overhead rope ext

    Day 2 legs
    Squats
    leg press
    lunges or step ups
    romanian deadlift
    calf work

    Day 3 Rest

    Day 4 Chest
    Incline dumbbell press
    Flat barbell or dumbbell press
    decline press or dips

    Day 5 back
    Deadlift
    Chins/pullups or pulldowns
    1 arm rows or chest supported rows
    close grip pull downs
    shrugs

    Day 6 and 7 rest I would work abs maybe 2x per. week.

    To take out unnecessary sets, exercises or both. For example you don't need to do both incline barbell and incline dumbbell on the same day.
