Which part of your body is exhausted first when you're benching? Shoulders/Chest/Triceps? There are ways to fix this depending on which it is (different grips etc.)

My workout probably isn't great. I do the same one every other day. I should probably mix up my routine. I run on the days I don't lift.

Here it is:

weight reps
Pull-ups 0 x20
Bench Press 165 2x8
Bent-over Rows 90 2x12
Standing Flyes 30 2x12
Seated Military Press 55 2x12
Standing Curls 40 2x12
45 degree Obliques 25 50 on each side
Bench Press 165 2x8
Triceps - ez-curl bar 60 2x12
Decline Bench Press 125 2x12
Butterfly Machine 190 2x12

Basically, yeah, that's how I feel about legs. I'm not against it, but just haven't ever gotten around to incorporating them into my routine. Perhaps I need to start splitting up my routine into A and B days, and adding legs to one? If so, what should I do?

Only 11 different exercises? You need at least 15 per day, 5 of which should be biceps exercises.

Hard to say. I'd say shoulders. Definitely not chest. Triceps doesn't seem right either.
