    You need to prioritize compound lifts. Back should always start with deadlifts or simiar, Shoulders with OHP, legs with squats, chest with Bench etc.. Work your way down to the least compound movements such as cables and machines. Does your gym not have a barbell? I see a lot of smith machine, but no barbell. Smith machine has been proven to be less effective.

    If I were you, I'd get on a structured program instead of making my own split.

    I have shoulder issues so I work rear deltoids first to warm up. I cant do many compound movements due to shoulder and elbow issues
