I suggest base in my personal preference as a Personal trainer/coach. Make sure you cycle your workout thru the year..ie 9 - 12 weeks routine then switch to a different workout plan. I hope it helps

Note: Diet should be on point, make sure your getting the nutrients your body needs!!!!!

Sorry I forgot to mention, I do 2 warm up set before every exercise. 1/4 then 1/2 the weight 15-20 reps. Also on back days pull ups are the first thing I do right afte my stretches 12/10/8
I will drop the smithe machine for shoulders and alternate barbell to dumbbell like you said. Same with the cardio.
Thanks for the advice
