Haha, I don't know what mreik was doing there, maybe you edited your post afterwards, anywho

This doesn't look too bad, you could move a couple of things around though. The set up is good to go. On Day 1 I would put the military after the incline before the dips. On Day 2, do the shrugs before any bicep work.

Whatever your goal is, make sure your diet is in check as well. To make sure you don't get bored and your body doesn't get use to this routine, occassionally switch stuff around, switch out dumbbells for barbells one day, or try a different number of reps, or sets, etc.

If you get tired, take a day off every so often as well, three days in a row may be a bit too sometimes. You could also try doing legs on Day 2 (switch 2 and 3), to give your upper body a bit more time to recover as a whole.

Not too bad overall except leg day. Toss the leg ext and leg curls. Replace with deadlifts and lunges. JMO
