That's a lot of volume all over the place with minimal leg work & no direct Ab work. Honestly, I used to setup my workouts this way and all I did was spin my wheels. If you're a natural lifter the best way to go IMO is for low volume/high frequency, meaning, lift more (hit a muscle group every 48-72 hours) but with less volume/exercises. I'd look into a proven Upper/Lower split, PHAT, or a PPL (Push Pull Legs).
FWIW - I've been doing an Upper/Lower with progression for about a year & have made the best gains in strength/aesthetics this way.0 -

Switch to a 3-4 day split where each muscle is the target.
Monday: Chest (bench, incline,dips), for example
Tuesday: back (deadlifts, rows, pulldowns/ups), Bicep work
Thursday: Shoulders (Presses, raises) tricep work (skull crushers, close grip bench)
Friday: Legs: Squats, stiff legged deadlifts, leg extension/curls0 -
Damn man, that is a ton of work. Not a bad routine but that is a ton of volume. I would go with a different program, something like a 5x5 or starting strength, wendlers 5/3/1, etc. For me your staples should be the foundation of your workout, with a couple accessory lifts to bring up whatever you feel is lacking. By staples I mean barbell compound movements. Squat, deadlift, SOHP, Barbell Rows, etc. How long are you in the gym? I would think that routine would take a minimum of 1.5 hours.0

only about 50 mins a time apart from saturday which is about 60mins(set up weights for deadlift and t bar)
i use Jefit app, only 60 seconds break each set/exercise , so it helps cut down the time a lot
