    go for it bro...looks pretty good. Your back day make deadlift your first lift because it is the hardest lift on the body. I would try 10,8,5,3,1,1 for deads.

    I don't think you'll be over-training, alot of work but your giving time for recovery as well.

    what if i took out the front raises on shoulder day, took out the cable rows on back day, and then did everything x3 execpt for my first exercise of each major group (warmup).....Would that work better?

    I would add one or two warm-up set(s) for each of the major muscle groups. And do the major mass building exercises first. Do 4 sets for hamstrings. Switch out one of the tricep exercises (other than dips) for skull crushers.
