    Pairing looks good, exercise choice is good, no noticeable imbalances. I say run it.

    Depending on your own recovery capability, I'd be cognizant of how your chest/triceps are recovering. I say this because you really only have two days rest between exercises that work chest/triceps, being that you have "triceps" day on Friday and "chest" day on Monday.

    If you're not taking sets to failure, you'll probabaly be alright, but just something to be aware of.

    THanks guys, yeah the thing i liked about splitting up the biceps with chest, is because i don't feel drained after working my back and going into biceps. however now with the 3 day routine, and everything smashed together i'll keep my eye on things.
