Hey Potimus - I have a couple of comments and things for you to watch out for:

1) You are working (directly or indirectly) biceps on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Be careful!
2) I think you need some style of calf exercise that targets the gastrocnemius. The seated exercises you have concentrate on the soleus.

Every thing else looks like a pretty good volume routine!!

I like it...Give it a try....As Dragon said you are hitting Bi's a lot but in my opinion you can hit the Bi's a lot and get away with it...When I was very young I would do Bi's an obscene amount and to this day they are one of my most developed parts.
