Well, chances are you;ll get several opinions on the matter.

*My* opinion is yes, you are overtraining. Too many excercises per body part and too many "repeat" excercises. On Monday, you're doind Flat and Incline Bench Press with free weights, and again with machines. You're just doing to same thing twice, three times actually when you do incline dumbbell press...it's counter productive. Try this:

Monday - Either machine or free weights
Flat bench press
Incline bench press
Cable Crossevers

Tuesday - Either Leg press OR Squats
Hack Squats
Calf Raises

Wednesday - REST


Thursday - Preacher Curls
Tricep Pushowns
Reverse preacher curls

Friday - Pulldowns (Either reverse or front grip)
Bent over rows
Shoulder Press
Lat Raises

You can play around with the excercies to your desire. Especially if you feel like one excercise hits that muscle better than others.

You are going to be tired come Weds. get some rest, I can't stress it enough.

Like I said, you'll probably get a lot more advice and opinions on this. Ultimately you have to make the right choice for your body.

Looks good, but you aren't doing any trap work on delts/traps day. I'd also reduce the chest routine. Order wise I much prefer chest, back, delts/traps, quads/hams, tris/bis/forearms.

Chest day is to much, if your not dead after 12 sets then uhhh your not training good enough.

i would say overtraining. i would try to find a prominent routine made by someone with experience and knowledge and alter it to your needs.
i use westside for skinny bastards check it out. very easily manipulated and you really dont have to be a skinny bastard
