dont do back and chest together,

drop down the number of sets from 4 to 3 and add decline or lf dips for chest

stiff legged deadlifts is a hamstring exercise, do normal deadlifts as the your first exercise for back, but i would suggest doing deadlifts as a beginner only ends injury.

do tris before bis, add either military press or db press to shoulders by droping front later raises

I'll look those up.

Thanks for the info
