@phil35 looks like a reasonable hypertrophy program. might move a back exercise to the second movement of the day just to marginally increase your performance via being less fatigued from quite as much push stuff. are you consistently seeing progressive overload?
 
@phil35 things that jump out at me:

(1) only 4 sets of overhead pressing and 8 sets of lateral raises -- I think it should be reversed (2) seated calf raise is a soleus exercise that neglects that gastrocs I'd ditch it and do e.g. calf-raises off the leg press sled instead that day (3) doing skullcrushers as the first tricep exercise of the day w/ no heavy pressing beforehand would murder my elbows but if you don't have elbow pain then ok I guess.
