So you're planning on hitting every body part twice a week right? Good shtuff. I always liked that bout Arnold's programming when I read his encyclopedia for the first time. I think frequency + volume is a great idea. Evurrrbody be afraid of "overtraining" and not giving each body part a whole week to recover which is ridiculous. Anyway my only critique would be to maybe make it a bit more flexible. Like instead of having:

Chest/Back A
Bench Press 3x6-8
Bent-Over Row 3x6-8

I would:

Chest/Back (Horizontal Push/Press) A
Heavy Barbell Bench Variant (4-6 reps)
Heavy Barbell Row Variant (4-6 reps)

This way you can change things up based on what you wanna focus on and you can also auto-regulate more. Sometimes you just wanna go in and get shtuff done and get out. Othe times you wanna crush the iron and kill 10+ sets cause your in the zone.
