you dedicate an entire day to triceps? you're prolly already working them quite a bit on chest/shoulder day if it involves presses of any kind... sure your body can recover from two tricep workouts a week?
other than that it looks fine

If you search for any of my old posts in this forum, you'll quickly discover that i'm a fervent proponent of not only drastically changing workouts every two months, but being very careful not to have to much homegeneity within one workout split.
For example, in your workout, you pair up bis and back, a common, and effective split. However, you do that day in and day out, and you could be asking for trouble. A) the bis are going to be VERY overloaded from putting in all that work on that day, and B) there are enough people who believe that the biceps need to be trained fresh from time to time as opposed to being worked after back, or at the end of a workout. The same holds true for delts and chest.
I'd give consideration to staggering the rest periods (it gives you the added bonus of having a different rest period for back and biceps as well...as they shouldn't be the same - biceps recuperate much faster) so that this doesn't occur.
