So while there is still a topic talking about fitness goals, I was curious if people had any comments or critiques on my normal gym routine so that I can adjust when my gyms eventually reopen.

I normally do a 5-day split that has an almost identical structure each day:
A heavy lift with descending reps: 3,3,2,2,1
A superset with 2 exercises at 4x10
2 cooldown exercises at 3x15

The order is legs, chest, rest, back, shoulders, arms, rest.

Legs: squat, press and leg curl, leg lift, heel rise
Chest: incline bench, dumbell press and fly, skullcrushers, seated fly
Back: weighted pullups, straight arm pulls and rows, shoulder rises, back seated fly
Shoulder: standing press, incline raise and upright barbell rows, front raises, cable pulls
Arms: preacher curls, curls and decline triceps lift, barbell curls, dips

I should be doing cardio or core on those rest days but I find that if I try and add any more to this I end up burning out on motivation.

Im no pro so take my comments with a grain or salt but make sure you have a structured programming scheme.

Your shoulder routine might be front felt heavy, I would do side raises rather than front raises so your shoulders are more balanced. I'd also look go. Through in another tricep excersie on arm day. Also, it might be better to hit each body part twice a week instead of once.

Why not just use a pre made routine and tweek it to ur liking? The main thing is not having muscle imbalances.
