Its not bad and pretty well balanced, but why try to reinvent the wheel? Why not just a PPL or U/L split?
If the answer is that you just like the train this way better, then go for it. I don't think theres any obvious problems there, and you'll still be hitting each muscle group 2x per week, and has a good balance of upper/lower. It all depends what exercises you're doing though.

Interesting, I guess it could work but you'd have to adjust rep/set and volume to take account for the fact your basically hitting biceps and triceps 3 times per week, twice directly and once indirectly. If you do too much volume on arms it could be too much and the extra work would become redundant or result in too much built up fatigue over time.
But if you know how to balance out the frequency and volume and a suitable progression method then it could work.Bench -216lbs
Squat - 268lbs
Deadlift - 375lbs
OHP - 134lbs

I did something similair when i was cutting.
It worked really good.
The full body workout gives the entire body one extra stimulus.
But chest shoulders and biceps i don't like, but many say it works so
if it works then do it.
