IMO this is not a good workout program, first off your legs are not getting near enough rest in between your workouts, but I don't have much time to give you more reason's but check out my program I put together

It's a basic Lyle McDonald, 4 day- Upper/Lower body split. The only way to find out if it'll get you the results you're looking for is to do it. Many people on this site have had great results with similar splits

[MachMood]

If you are gonna go M-t-TH-F I would only do 1 exercise per muscle group and have a 2 exercise rotation trying to get stronger every time you hit that exercise, here's an example for chest. On Monday only do flat bench, 2 warmups and 2-3 worksets. Then on Thursdays workout do Incline bench same rep scheme. Keep notes and track your workout. Next monday when you hit Flat again beat what you did last week. If you are noticing you cant beat your prior workout this workout is to much and switch over to a M-W-F split alternaitng upper lower upper lower. Heres my suggestion for a good split. I should add I train DC style and they pretty much use this same setup except put Bis/forearms on legs day. The way it is set up now the upper body lasts a really long time and the leg is kidna short so it evens it out so you spend about 1 hour in the gym each day. Heres how i would do it, you could just do all uppers in one day then lowers the next, the exercises all stay the same. Also If you are really set on doing a Mcdonald workout he often talks about how much he likes DC
