If your main concern is to not overtrain, I think you're overtraining.

That's a crap-load of sets. Here's what I would drop:

On chest day, drop either the incline or decline press. Alternate them per week, perhaps. I do that sometimes.

Drop one of your tricep routines. Close-grip or push-downs would go first for me.

Drop one of your bicep routines. I'd drop the preachers or hammers, personally.

Drop one of the rows sets, either the bent-overs or machine rows.

For legs, you probably don't need the adbuction work if you're doing your squats right. Drop those as well as maybe the hack squats. If you do your free squats hard enough, you shouldn't be able to even do hacks.

You should be able to be in and out of the gym in about an hour.

you're really overtrainin bro. u should probably do at most 9 sets for small muscles like biceps, tris, shoulders and about 12 for back chest and legs not including calves. less than that is fine if u put enough intensity into it but if ur doin more than ur not being intense enough and are probably overtraining
