The split itself is a good one, the exercises choosen however arent great. As said above for shoulders only do 1 pressing exercise, chest is simple do an incline press, flat press and then a flye movement to finish it off. Biceps your doing too many exercised imo just do 2. A barbell or dumbell curl then a shaping movement such as dumbell preacher or cable curls.

Why have deads first NTB?. Is it because they are the hardest exercise and do it whilst fresh?

Not too bad, would drop a press from shoulders day, no point having 3, drop the arnie press at least.

Wouldnt bother with decline bench press, would be fine with the other 3 especially if also doing dips on thursday

Have deads first for back, then bent over row, then pull ups then lat pull down.
