I don't personally like flyes much, but if you want to keep them at least drop one of them. I don't see the need to do both flat bench flyes and then do machine flyes.

-I think that your volume is way too high as well. You're looking at 20+ chest sets, a crap ton of leg work, and a large amount of back work. I'd cut down the volume, cut out 1 or 2 exercises or drop to 3-4 sets per exercise.

-I think that you need more shoulder work.

-Cut out the leg curls, and leg extensions. I don't think that you need that much isolation work after that much heavy compound work.
