    Looks okay. And yes, I'd replace the rear flys with shrugs.

    Forgive me if I am incorrect, but you height and weight suggest that you may not be ready for a 3 day split. Look at the link in my sig.

    Yeah it's okay, are you a beginner or intermediate? But like on chest day you have only 3 more sets dedicated to chest than tris, not to mention tris are hit in your chest exercises, if anything Id feel your chest could have more volume or something? Id probably throw in cable crossovers supersetted with 21's on pushups where you go middle to neutral to wide position. All your exercises look good and seem to be hitting all your muscles. I really dont think you really need shrugs on your workout here unless you notice them lag after time, deadlifts and side raises leave my traps more fatigued than shrugs. If you wanna hit traps id even recommend upright rows, they kill my traps and shoulders at the same time. Whatever you do, dont take out rear delts, too often theyre neglected and cause weaknesses in the future and it reduces the rounded shoulder look. I'd definately add leg extensions though and then maybe curls. This is what I'd do on a 3 day split based on yours (even though id be tempted to go Push, Pull, Push one week and Pull, Push, Pull the next week...):

    Mon: Chest+Tri+Oblique
    DB Incline Bench
    BB Bench
    Dips
    DB Incline Flyes/Cable Crossovers
    Triceps Cable Pushdowns
    Skullcrushers
    Weighted side raises for obliques

    Wed: Back+Bi+Abs
    Lat Pull Down
    Close grip Chin ups
    T-bar row
    Deadlift
    Hammercurls
    Cable Curls EZ bar
    Weighted situps

    Fri: Legs + Shoulders
    Squat
    Leg Press
    Lunges/Leg extensions
    Leg curls (optional)
    Standing Calf raises (in, neutral and out)
    DB Shoulder Press - I prefer the stretch on this exercise
    Side raises for shoulders
    1-2 sets of upright rows, 12-15 reps for me, i like to feel the burn on this
    Rear deltoid flys

    Train to failure and with intensity and youll see gains whatever, your muscle will be built in the kitchen and in bed but regarding your workout, your not neglecting anything of what I can see

    What?

    Rear Delt Flies = rear delts
    Shrugs = traps

    Why would he replace one with the other? He can just add the shrugs in somewhere, he doesn't need to drop an exercise.

    Good deal, and in that case, your posted split looks okay as-is. Run it for a few months and see where you're at at that time.

    As far as adding Shrugs, traps get worked pretty thoroughly when you Deadlift, but if you've determined that they're a particular weak point for you, adding in a few sets of Barbell Shrugs at the end of your leg/shoulder session would be a reasonable move.

    I know what exercises work what muscles. I felt there was too much volume and he should drop an isolation with power shrugs. Unless he's advanced and needs that level of stimulation he may not need it.

    If he wants to add shrugs in and keep the rear delt flys he can. It's not a hard and fast rule, it was a simple suggestion.
