    Split up rest days?
    Need more shoulders/legs/calves...
    To me the whole routine looks messy

    Monday: chest/light abs
    Tues:bis/tris/light abs
    Wedff
    Thurs :light chest/shoulders
    Fri:back/abs/forearms
    Satff
    Sun:legs/calves


    That's my routine not including actual excercises... by "light" it means 2-3 excercises.. not to be confused with light weight. Also you do bb curls/ db curls? Maybe swap for like hammer curls or something for one?

    Too little rest, leg days have too few exercises and are done only half as many times as upper body days and a few basic compound exercises are nowhere to be found in your routine. Are you going for the Johnny Bravo look?

    Your basic split is ok but put more rest days in there. I had a very similar split and did this:
    Day 1: Push
    Day 2: Pull
    Day 3: Rest
    Day 4: Legs
    Day 5: Push
    Day 6: Rest
    Day 7: Rest
    Day 8: Pull
    And so forth.....

    Also the order of your exercises (if the way you listed them is how you do them) seems to be a little random at times. Try this:

    Chest/shoulders/triceps:
    Bench press
    Overhead press
    Dips
    Incline press
    Lateral raises

    Back/biceps
    Deadlifts
    Pull-ups/chinups
    Some type of row
    Rear delt raises
    Some type of curl
    (I'd personally put some hang cleans on this day either first or second but if thats not your thing, then ignore it)

    Legs:
    Squats
    Step ups
    Good morning
    Calf raises
    Strength + Speed = Power

    If you never fail, you aren't truly pushing yourself to the limit. If you never push yourself to the limit, how do you know what you're truly capable of?
