That's why you don't assign an arm day. Train more muscle group at once. More compound movement.

If you ever done leg day, 1 hour is never enough IF you did squat or deadlift.

Are you trolling or what? You expect to do squats, overhead press, deadlift and bench press in single session? You're really killing yourself. It is enough bruh just make a split on different days. I guess you haven't heard there's a split called push pull and legs. Learn more bruh.

starting strength do squat, bench and deadlift in 1 session =) Beginner still can handle this especially when weight is not that heavy.

Yeah same, I don't understand how people can stay so long in the gym. Perhaps intensity not very high?

1 hour is absolutely enough especially for upper body workout. Even lower body workout also can be done within 1 hour. But if you include some proper warm up like foam rolling before lifting and proper stretching after workout, 1 hour doesn't really enough.

Some might think that warm up and cool down isn't necessary, but in the long run, it will help you a lot. I used to warm up with the first exercise and lighter weight. But recently, I started doing more mobility work before workout, it certainly help you to prepare mentally and physically. Warm up shoulder properly everytime before you fu*k up your shoulder lol.

i incorporated legs to every workout (squats, deadlifts, leg press) so that's why it takes me 1.5hrs at least in the gym.
1st day: shoulders (4-5 exercises) and legs
2nd day: back (4-5 exercises) and legs
3rd day: chest (4-5 exercises) and legs
4th day (schedule permitting): arms (3 bicep exercises, 3 tricep exercises) and legs

i have skinny legs that's why i work them out every gym day

but yeah, a lot of people spend more time chit chatting, resting or even checking girls out in the gym rather than sweating it out

You better follow some better routine. Training legs with high intensity 3 times is a max per week. If you train them 4 times per week, you ain't training hard enough. Deadlift is extremely taxing your CNS and normal lifter shouldn't be doing deadlift more than twice per week. Even once per week is MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Is it alright if I take shoulder off my pushday and do them on a separate day so I can focus them more? I used to do them all on  my pushday but I felt like I can't really push my shoulders hard enough after chest. And if I do shoulders first, I will not be able to do chest with my intended intensity.

I still do all body parts twice a week.

You can't train your shoulder hard after chest because it is trained during chest exercise. I don't get why so many people tend to do so many sets for shoulder(front and lateral delt mainly). Shoulder is so small compared to chest and back. Even just doing chest exercise or any pushing movement especially incline bench already work the front delt to a very high degree. Front delt isolation is completely unnecessary. Just throw a few lateral raise after chest if you want.
