does it matter if it's seated? and when you raise it up should it kind of go behind your head or should you lift it straight up and then straight back down to your collar bone?
or should i lower it behind my head?

)

Add rows to wednesday........... calf raises are fine on the smith- anything else- fuck it
also this is just my opinion for Friday, but i would do lunges or pullthroughs instead of leg curls and probably leg press instead of leg extensions.
that sounds great, rows yes.

Deadlifts

FRIDAY:
Squats
Leg Curls (Possibly lunges or pullthroughs?)
Leg Extensions (Possibly leg press?)
Standing Calf Raises
What type of rows should I do since there are variations? like should i do it with the barbell? and should i have both my hands facing me and how far should i be bent over? i also see guys at my gym doing rows with the barbell used on the bench press and they put it in the corner and start pulling at a central point with weight at the end of the bar.,

alright so ill just move the shrugs to the end of the wednesday workout? anything else i can add to make it perfect or does that look perfect enough already lol and do you think i should even be doing shrugs? because when i flex them they form hills on my shoulders, they are the most prominent muscles on my body besides like my legs for some reason they are just so muscular

You can do shrugs if you want- it's not going to make or break your routine. You can also add 1 bicep isolation if you feel necessary; i think what you have is sufficient, but adding one if you want is okay. I also like your Monday- a lot of people try to have 9 exercises for chest and the ones you have are all really good "bang for your buck" exercises. Same goes with Wednesday.
You can try BB Rows if you want. I prefer DB, but both are excellent exercises.

what in your opinion would be the best bicep iso exercise for me to do? and im just a bit worried about the shrugs because i watchded this video about shrugs by this scooby workshop guy and he says that they are so responsive to work outs that he only does them once a month
YouTube - Dumbbell shrugs for traps tahts the video, my traps are like mini versions of his, and yeah my body i dont think has quite caught up with them, but I could be wrong maybe its completely normal and everyone else just neglects to work their traps so they think that that is what the norm is.
but yeah i think this workout looks a bit better to me because there's more, and i feel like im working harder, cause on wednesday especially, i felt so bad that I did not work hard enough..
