put shrugs with back...if you want to do that much shoulder work after chest i suggest 1set of db presses a good set of 6 and one or two sets of side laterals (8 reps) close grip for tris 2sets of 8 take out one arm rows and switch bent overs to that and throw deadlifts in as your 5x5 do sets of shrugs on back day and for bis i suggest 2 sets of 8 with barbell curls legs are fine except you need to put squats in at 5x5

Wed
Back
Rows 5x5 or deads (personally id do deads if i were you and end all back with 2 sets of 8 bent over dorian style rows
Wide Grip Pull down 2 8-10
barbell shrugs (to the front) 2 6-8
barbell curls 2 8
maybe if not overtrained throw in hammer (for forearms) 1 set of 6 or 8

Legs
squats 5x5

i personally like one set of calfs i aim for 25 reps.. but usually die at 15-18 burns them up good
