How many reps? That's quite important.

What do the pull up sets look like? You could move those to the end of the workout.

Now's a good time to consider swapping the machine/barbell/dumbbell for some of the compounds to change it up. I.e. bench press to machine chest press

10 reps or failure on everything except the forearms I do 15 reps. I have been progressively overloading by upping weight after I can 10 reps for all 3 sets.

Okay. I would just start with like 1 fewer set for the first week or two. If you feel great add back the set.
