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

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.
