I'm guessing your goals are bodybuilding by looking at this program. I'm personally not a bodybuilder myself so, when I look at this program I'm kind of scratching my head... But, maybe that's why I'm not all jacked and tan.

If this program looks good to you and you believe in it, I say go for it.

Though if you want my personal opinion I would change somethings a little bit. But, sometimes changing the program is not a good thing because, that isn't what the program is designed for and maybe it will screw everything up. But, here is what I'd change...

Chest + Biceps
Flat Bench w/ Barbell
Incline Press w/ barbell or DB's
Pec Dec or Flys

Biceps as program states, though I personally don't believe you need to train your biceps that much.

Legs + Shoulders

Leg part looks fine to me.

For Shoulders I'd recommend doing your presses with a barbell. I'd leave out lateral raises but keep the rear delt laterals.

Back + Triceps

Too much upper back isolation going on... Chins/Lat Pulls both are similar I would only pick one of the two; same with One Arm DB Rows/T-Bar Rows. Again, these two movements are similar and work basically the same muscles.

Triceps as program states, but like the biceps, I don't think you need to train your triceps too much cause there already being worked through all your pressing movements.

Anyways that's my two cents.

Very useful feedback Krueg, I believe the same thing about the back day, I mean pull ups and lat pul down are just the same movement and hit the same part of the back, just like the db and tbar rows.

I was considering to simply remove the t-bar rows and keep either the lat pull down or the pull ups.

Regarding leg day do you think removing squats and putting dead lift instead would be ok? I find myself doing much better the second than the first one, plus I have more fun using the arms as well.

I myself have a better deadlift than my squat, thats just how our bodys mechanics work, others are built better for the squat. Those guys squat more than they can deadlift. BUT, that doesn't mean you should skip squats, they are just as important. I would keep squats on leg day and put deadlifts on back day.
