My typical split, for most of the last 10 years, has been one muscle per day so everything is hit once per week. I've never tried this push/pull/legs before and thought it would be a good way to shock my muscles with something they're not used to, as well as a way to hit each muscle twice per week. I tend to rest a pretty solid minute between sets and the goal here is primarily hypertrophy.
I see your point about the amount of pressing, but don't really see which one I can cut out. I don't want to lose a chest press, as I feel it's a weak point for me and probably the muscle who's size bothers me the most and that only leaves the shoulder press, which is the only shoulder press in this plan. Can you maybe make some suggestions for how to make this work a little better?

Not a bad routine in my opinion. Similar to what's worked real well for me the last couple of years.

I have always found arm training a bit of a waste. Granted my arms grow easy. If you do weight pull ups ( or if you can only do a few just do negative pull ups) your bis will grow. And from all the benching and pressing your tris show do the same. Pretty much what Nach3 said. it all depends on your goals. if you dont care about bodybuilding then drop all the leg extensions, leg curls, lat pull downs stuff like that. the are way better exercises anyways.
