Am I getting there?

So for the past couple weeks based on the info and tips I've gotten from posters here I changed my routine and in about another 2 I'll be changing it around to prevent muscle memory but I feel I should post my current routine to see if it's a step in the right direction.

5-10 Min or until break a good sweat on a elliptical
Leg Press 3x10 (about a 3 count negative pause at bottom then 1-2 second positive)
Calf Raise 3x10 about 2 second positive and negative with a 1 second hold at the extension
Front Squat 2x15 with only 75lbs very controlled reps with about a 4 second positive and negative just to get used to squatting I also end a set if my form starts to breakdown
Leg Curl 3x10 hamstrings are a big weakness
DB Shoulder Press 3x8 I don't use a bench for support to help posture
Incline Bench 3x8
Flat Bench/DB Bench 3x8 Depending on how crowded either DB or BB bench
Decline Bench 1x15 Just all 10's on the bar and once struggle pull one off each end to get to 15 reps
Low Row 3x10
Chinups 2x.. 2 sets to failure
Incline Situps 3x15 first set with a 10lb second w/ a 5lb third just BW
Back Extensions 3x.. same as situps but usually between 8-10 reps

I do this on Tues,Thurs,Sat when starting I was taking only about 1,700 cal per day not I'm getting atleast 2,500

21 yrs old 6'1 172(when started) Goal to just add some mass while keeping functional agility for soccer. This averages to take about 1 hour 30 mins to complete.

Any recommendations on what to change around in a couple weeks are more then welcome as I've learned more browsing here then anywhere else combined.

Pretty good overall except that i think your total volume might be a bit high? maybe remove one of those bench press exercises? or some of the leg isolation work. Stick to maybe 5 or 6 big exercises a workout?

Oh ye and maybe eat even more calories? I'm no expert on that but i think you could eat even more?

yeah i know but it's just not possible for me to jump upto that i'm adding in as many as i can that are good calories, the reason for all the presses is after a soccer game my arms are dead from diving n explosively pushing myself back up to get ready for the next save so it's more for muscular endurance then for chest size.

If you want more muscular endurance in your upper body then i would rather do a whole lot of pushup variations for lots of reps (20+)

Also the pushup would mimic the the movement you do in soccer better

Why not also just practice diving and pushing yourself back up lots of times? Exactly like in soccer

Heavy bench pressing, incline pressing and decline benching with heavy weights is not going to help you with that i dont think.
