Ronnie, can you please help me?

Ronnie, I've read a lot of your posts and threads over the years, you're VERY knowledgeable. I need your help.

I'm a 30 year old white male who's been lifting on/off for 16 years. I'm 6' 270 with some body fat and a little gut on me but pretty jacked. I'm on 200 mg test cyp weekly prescribed by doc because I have naturally low testosterone and also on 3 IU HGH nightly prescribed by doc because I have adult growth hormone deficiency. My goal is just to get big and strong (pretty simple, huh? LOL). I never have competed in powerlifting or bodybuilding and never will (although I LOVE both sports).

I will be doing a routine where I train a body part once every 7 days. Here it is:

3 days a week weightlifting routine (Mon, Weds, Fri):

*I do all exercises with reps of 8-10 keeping the same weight each set with a weight that I can do atleast 8 reps but can't do for more than 10 reps. I progress the weights when I can do all sets with 10 reps. All sets listed are work sets to failure (I stop when I complete a rep and know I can't get the next rep). I warm up properly and stretch out before, during, and after working out. I do warm up sets when needed. I don't have a specific rest time between sets. I just move on to the next set when I feel I'm ready. After my workout I drink a PWO shake consisting of 50 g whey protein and 100 g dextrose.

Mon.

1. Wide grip lat pulldowns to the front 4x8-10
2. Bent over two arm db rows to chest with elbows flared 4x8-10 (as seen here except I will do them with db instead of bb: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...arDeltRow.html)
3. Seated db curls 3x8-10
4. 4 way neck machine (front, left, right, back) 3x8-10 all 4 sides

Weds.

1. Sled hack squat machine 4x8-10
2. Lying leg curls 4x8-10
3. Standing calf raises 4x8-10
4. Lying crunch machine 3x8-10

Fri.

1. Flat db bench press 3x8-10
2. Incline db bench press 3x8-10
3. Seated db lateral raises 4x8-10
4. Tricep pushdowns 3x8-10

2 questions:

1. How does this routine look?

2. Can you build a big, strong body by training a body part only once every 7 days?
