bench press
shoulder press
row
lat bar exercise
biceps
triceps
sitting ab crunch
leg press (only seems to exercise the thighs not the calves)

pretty much in that order. I have a manual liusting the 70 or so differnet exercises I can do but it doesnt mention anything about how to put a plan together that will build muscle evenly aroudn the whole body and avoid plateaus. Suggestions/help putitng osmething together?
What kind of bench press? Flat? Incline? Decline? Do you do flys? How many different exercises are you doing for each muscle?

Try switching exercises when you plateau to target a different area of the same body part.
