Weighted Dips 10-12x3
Chest Flys 10-12x3

Off Days I do cardio and hit abs for half an hour. I have shoulders on a separate day because I can't even do half my normal weight on db shoulder press after hitting my chest, plus my shoulders have blown up since I started hitting them on their own day.

Stats:
5'8, 190lbs 12% Bf

Whatcha think?
 
This looks like a good basic routine. It really depends on your goals and how you are supporting that with diet. I think 4 sets per exercise is the way to go, but everyone is different. Also, when it comes to periodizing, which is a term for a workout design to be done over a certain amount of time, I believe 12 weeks is about the time you start to see less benefit from a routine. That is the time to change up something about the approach, which can include rep range, number of sets, time in between sets, etc.
 
Looks good man. Like buddhabuilder said, it depends on your goals.. the routine you mentioned seems more hypertrophy based. I'm a big fan of military press and push press for shoulders, as well as explosive snatch grip high pulls instead of upright rows. But that's just me :)

It's pretty similar to what I do, I go heavier on some lifts though and keep the reps shorter. I'm a big fan of doing ~12 sets per major body part. 4 on 1 off is a lot for me personally. I'd have to do 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off. But everyone's different. If you feel like you can keep up with this then do it.
