    Stop making threads about your push/pull/legs routines. Just follow this...

    PUSH
    1 horizontal push (IE bench), 1 vertical push (overhead press), 1 tricep movement

    PULL
    1 pull from floor, 1 horizontal pull (rows), 1 vertical pull (pull ups), 1 bicep movement

    LEGS
    1 squat movement, 1 posterior chain movement (RDL's), 1 calf movement

    Add in extra excercises that fit in with your goals, needs, etc.

I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel

    The idea is fine of a push, pull, and legs are fine but theres way to much redendency and questionable exercise placement.

    Pull: Remove deads or keep them, they are a "pull" but mostly hit the lower body/core which you'll be doing on leg day. You also have way to many lat dominated lifts. Chins and Pull ups are practically the same so remove one. Also remove lat pull downs - just like pull ups, but less effective. Idk where the push ups fit into this.

    Leg: Front squats are fine, but realize that the position of the bar makes it more difficult to squat heavier weight - it will improve core strength but at the cost of slower progress on with the rest of your lower body... but again its still fine. I personally would also throw deads here too - some will disagree as it'll be hard, but for decades powerlifters have been training both on the same day without issue. Step ups, forward lunges, backward lunges... just pick one. Leg ext and curls are fine but I'd drop the hamstring fall outs - you'll be doing deads and leg curls.

    Push: Flat bench or incline - pick one. Military press is good. Tricep extensions or skill crushers, pick one. Push ups are fine but I wouldn't set a specific number of reps or sets... see how you feel and don't kill yourself. Unless your trying to get good at them, I'd leave them out.

    So...

    Pull: W.Pull Ups, Rows, curls, delt raise
    Leg: Squat, Deadlift, Lunges (just one type OR step up), Ex, Curl
    Push: Bench, MP, Skull (or extensions), Push Ups

    If you have to many lifts, all will suffer. Select a few and master them.
