Hammer strenght incline bench and shoulder press are great machines. There are a variety of rowing and pulling ones as well and while I don't like them all, they do allow to really focus on contraction.

It's fine, as long as you're lifting heavy with big, compound exercises and eating well you're gonna see gains.
I personally would do chest/tri and back/bi instead of having a separate arm-day.
Assuming a 3-day split, how would you do it? I've seen people recommend back/bis, chest/tris and leg/shoulders but I'd go with a good ol' push/pull/legs.Terrible. You're doing abs every single time you go to the gym. You're hitting your shoulders every time you go to the gym. You're doing "legs" ONCE a week. You're only going 3x a week. And you're trying to cram way too much into one session. Chest, Back, abs, and cardio all in one session- seriously? That would take me nearly three hours and by the end of it I wouldn't be worth a shit at all. It's far more effective to split that up into three one hour sessions over three days. Think about it- instead of being completely gassed, your intensity will be much higher through each workout.
Do the cardio on "off" days. Do the abs with the cardio on off days. Don't do shoulders and legs together. The regiment you listed is begging for an injury or a burnout- whichever comes sooner.

Do you deadlift and squat in the same day? I would split those exercises apart, because your core and legs are going to be so exhausted after one of them that the other is going to suffer immensely.
I'm just blindly assuming that you are doing to those exercises.
So much wrong with this.leg press 5X5 (cant do squats for more than 150 as they start hurting my upper back. unless its me holding it behind me, under my butt. but again, my wrists cant support the weights. so leg press)
