    I'm not an expert but it looks like some things may be lacking. Maybe someone else can hop in here with some more or better info. Stick with just the DB lateral raise no need to do the same thing on a machine. I'd also add in a pressing movement for shoulders, rather it be seated db press or military press. I would also throw in some more tricep work. Maybe 2 more exercises. Close grip bench, push downs, kick backs etc... Deadlifts 2x5? I don't know how intense you go but that's not much volume. I'd at least do 3 sets of 5. Same thing with biceps I'd add a few more exercises. Legs look good. This is just my .02 good luck

    Everyone has different opinions on this but my take on it is go HIT. Less exercises and set it as a goal to beat the book. If you are doing 3x12 increase the weight and keep at it until you can do 3x12 then increase again. Or do as me (HIT), on the main exercises there is no 3x12, if I can do the same amount of reps on any set as the first set, then I was very far from failure. This keeps workouts short and results incoming. Go to positive failure, try to do better than last time, and learn how many sets per workout you can handle.

    On the push day try to balance chest, shoulder and tricep work. One compound exercise for each, maybe two (esp for chest since you want incline). E.g. Flat barbell press, incline dumbbell, standing military press, dips.

    On the pull day do hamstrings as well. When you deadlift you use your hamstrings a lot. So space leg workouts from pull workouts to give glutes/thighs adequate rest. Regarding back work, once you have done e.g. a vertical pulling movement, doing it with cables or with a slightly different grip wont change much. Instead I would do less exercises and do heavier and more intense work, e.g. pullups then barbell rows (vertical movement for lats, then horizontal for upper back). You're training several muscles per workout, you dont want to run out of energy before you get all the work in.

    I'm not quite sure if I understand your question. You're doing all of these exercises in one day and you're asking if it's too much? Yes, it's too much for one day.
