I been working out for 2-3 years now but I feel like I'm doing too much for my workouts bcuz each session lasts over 90 minutes and not prioritizing the right muscles to be aesthetic. Im running a 4 day upper lower split (0-1 RIR) (1 RIR on first set and 0 on last or only set)

Upper A: (Arm focus)
1. 2x db lateral raises
2. 2x db bicep curls
3. 1x cable reverse curl
4. 2x unilateral tricep extension
5. 1x weighted dips
6. 2x upper back row
7. 2x weighted pullups
8. 1x low to high fly
9. 1x flat db press

Lower:
2x unilateral leg extension
2x unilateral seated ham curl
1x bulgarian split squat
2x 45deg extension
2x adductors
2x unilateral calf raises
1x abductors
1x cable crunch
1x side bends

Upper B is the same exercise selection just back focused and then arms then lateral raises then chest. Is this a good routine and should I remove/add anything or prioritize something more than the other for aesthetics and is 9 exercises too much?

it's not bad u could change some stuff ig like doing cable lateral raises or preacher curls i'd remoe split squats and instead add a leg press or another squat movement if u wanna keep it, if u wanna save some time on the lower u could do alternating leg extensions

Honestly bro I would do those exercises but I’m just doing what’s available to me rn. When I get a gym membership I’ll do leg press instead

in that case yea it's pretty good i'd still change splits squats to a barbell squats if u have a barbell

Not enough weight atm but I hear u bro. Should I change around exercise order?
 
Change you movements based on how fatiguing they are do the easy movements such as lateral raises last as they are have very little fatigue
