Switching Routine Up...Sound Good?

SO i'm now approaching the year mark for lifting in general, and for the past 4-5 months i've used a makeshift routine that sort of resembled a stuff/stuff/legs I've been doing my homework and found a ton of routines around, one that appeals to me quite a bit. If you guys would look it over for me, i would be indebted ^^

Im not sure if it applies, but just to save the trouble...6'1, male, 193, cutting, 15.5% BF. I do like my 4 days cardio, 3 lifting schedule. Seems to cut me up pretty quickly with a dedicated diet ^^. Here we go...

Mon - Chest/Triceps/Shoulders 2x10
Flat Bench
Incline Bench
Standing barbell military press
Cable Crossover Flies
Lateral dumbbell deltoid raise
Dips
Skullcrushers
Tricep Pushdowns


Wed - Legs 3x10
Squats
Leg Presses
Leg extensions
Hamstring curls
Calf presses

Fri – Back/Biceps/Forearms/Abs 2x10

Deadlift
Reverse-grip lat pulls / Cable rows
Chin-ups (want to sub this out if anyone knows a replacement)
Preacher curls
Dumbbell bicep curls
Dumbbell hammer curls
Reverse bicep curls /w bar
Hanging leg lift
Russian Twists

Thanks!

-Why do you have so many bicep movements?
-Why are you military pressing twice in one workout?
-Leg presses and extensions can be subbed for Bulgarian or split squats and cable pullthroughs.
-No need for lat pulldowns and chins. I would keep chins and throw in some cable rowing.
-I'd also add bb or db rowing
-Me thinks cable crunches+Russian twists or Full contact twists would be a better ab combination

A better option since you're running 3 days a week is push/pull alternating or upper/lower alternating or fullbody.

Fullbody i've tried also, i'm just looking to sample out something new...

Military was a typo, edited out.
Switched it up to add some, working on it as i have time to post (busy ^^)

As far as scratching the entire routine here and changing, the only thing i would go for otherwise would probably be push/pull/legs. Perhaps im looking at the wrong sites, but i havent found a variation thereof that fits. The most important thing for me is that i keep the lifting portion of working out to 3 days a week.

My routine is similar.

Upper

Flat Bench
Incline Bench
Cable Cross Overs
Wide Grip Chins
Bent Over row
Standing Shoulder Press
Cable Rear flies
Cable Curls
Dips

Lower

Squats
Leg Press
Leg Extension
Hamstring Curls
Swiss Ball Hamstrings (rehab)
Standing Calf Raise

I do abs after both workouts I do Decline crunches with a medicine ball and superset it with a bench bridge and also some other ab exercise usually depends on how toasted I am.

I found this routine to work best for me it may be different for you but at least its something to give you some ideas on.

So the muscles that work together get worked (primarily) on the same day. arguably, it prevents over training as well, in a well-balanced routine. If someone is doing push/pull and just switches everyday then it's not so good, obviously.
