New workout routine

[lestat85]

I'm currently on a whole body workout routine with 3 workouts per week focusing on compound moves to target the entire body every workout and 2 cardio only days.
I'm am looking at changing my routine soon (once my bf% is a little lower) and trying to gain some mass. My planned routine is:

Day 1
20* Incline DB Press
45* Incline BB Press
Flat Bench Press
Cable Crossover
Day 2
Deadlifts
Pull-ups
BB Row
DB Row
Decline DB Pullover
Day 3
Military Press
DB Side Raise
DB Front Raise
Reverse Cable Crossover
BB Shrugs
Day 4
Squats
Lunges
Romanian Deadlift
Prone Leg Curls
Calf Raises
Day 5
Dips
BB Curls
Skull Crushers
Incline DB Curls
Close Grip Bench Press
Hammer Curls

Any feedback would be appreciated.

1) format this a bit better so its easier to understand
2) add in sets/reps for each exercise
3) post your stats, age,height,weight,bf%,years training
4) can you be more specific on cardio? What exactly do you do for cardio?

once you add all that I can help you out more and so can the other members on here

Age 27
Height 6'
Weight 180lbs
bf% about 12-15 but trying to get down to about 10% before starting this program
I've been training for about 4 1/2 years

Day 1 (Chest)
20 degree Incline DB Press
45 degree Incline BB Press
Flat Bench Press
Cable Crossover

Day 2 (Back)
Deadlifts
Pull-ups
BB Row
DB Row
Decline DB Pullover

Day 3 (Shoulders)
Military Press
DB Side Raise
DB Front Raise
Reverse Cable Crossover
BB Shrugs

Day 4 (Legs)
Squats
Lunges
Romanian Deadlift
Prone Leg Curls
Calf Raises

Day 5 (Arms)
Dips
BB Curls
Skull Crushers
Incline DB Curls
Close Grip Bench Press
Hammer Curls

I'll be using a rep range of 8-12 and 3-4 sets per exercise

I usually keep my cardio at about 30 mins and stick to high intesity intervals, as I find this to be the best way to keep myself motivated to do cardio.

I hope this is formatted clearer and answers all the questions.

ya your definitely in a tricky spot with those stats I would say. at 6 ft 180 lbs and 12-15% bf I would have a hard time figuring if you should try bulk or cut down bf%. If you are in fact 12% I would personally try to bulk by lowering the volume on the exercises you are currently performing. What do the weights that you lift look like?

[lestat85]

I'm trying to cut right now. Looking to use this to bulk in the fall/winter. My current weights are not where I wish they were, but my diet was really bad and I was stuck in a rut that I just couldn't seem to break out of. My lifts are about:

Deadlift 275x5
Squat 235x5
Bench 180x5

You're doing 3 pressing movements back to back. The first two movements, you're actually doing the EXACT same thing, just one with dumbbells, one with a barbell. I'd do at max, 1 or 2 pressing movement, and a squeezing movement like flys. Imo, either do Incline, or Bench, don't do both. Certainly don't do incline twice, and then bench after that. You're begging for shoulder problems later on (I know, I used to do that, and have them). I'm 26.
