    No, it looks bad and redundant.

    For a 4-day split, I'd go with something like this:

    Monday: Legs
    Tuesday: Back/Chest
    Wednesday: rest - cardio only
    Thursday: shoulders
    Friday: arms
    Sat/sun: rest - cardio 1 day only

    Re-configure however but the keys are to give yourself a break between back/chest, bis/tris, and shoulders since all those groups are hit when doing the larger upper body groups. If you deadlift on back day, it may be better to have a rest day between legs/back as well. Don't do multiple chest pressing/back workouts in the same week, just train em hard one day and get plenty of rest. Keep volume light for arms/chest - do as many as 25 sets for legs/back.

    You serious about the chest and back on the same day? Isn't that a bit overkill?

    I don't think so. They don't really involve each other and can be super-set. But it's just an example - what's overkill is your current split - anything would be better. You could do:

    Mon: Back/rear delts
    Tues:Chest/abs
    Weds: rest
    Thurs:Legs/delts/traps
    Fri: Arms

    This example looks better to me.

    Another diet question though.. Is it ok to use some sugarfree jam in the cottage cheese for the taste and is 300g to much as as a last meal of the day?

    Hardest thing for me with this diet is the ability to eat this much food during the day. Another thing is that I'm not starting the day so early as most people do. I wake up around 10am and fitting all these meals in my schedule is not easy.

    I would not. Even sugar-free jam still has a lot of natural sugar before bed. If you can't stomach the cheese without it, use casein powder. Or try adding some raspberries and splenda. As for the portion, 300g or 50g it all depends on your protein needs for the day. 1 metric cup (~30g pro) is a pretty standard amount before bed.

Just force yourself to do it and soon it'll become second nature both with regard to your stomach expanding and convenience in terms of your day-to-day lifestyle
    Yessir.
