    Holy Cow Superman.. That is a freaking “hulk” of a workout. I believe if you really go through with this, you will fall hard into the “overtraining” catagory. Which means, you will not only have no gains, but be tired, and not motivated to go to the gym. But, are you just starting to train or are you a seasoned veteran?? If you are just starting off, this is way to much, but if you have been training for awhile, I guess you might be able to get away with it for a month or so. I have always told my clients to do this:
    Chest/Triceps/Front delts/Traps — push muscles
    Back/Biceps/Delts(rear delts)/forearms — Pull Muscles
    Quads/Hamsrings/calves/lowerback — Lowerbody
    Abs – Anytime/Anyplace

    I break it up this way so that I know the “push” muscles get 2 days rest, atleast, until the next workout. Same for the “pull” and the tree truck’s (thats what they’ll be calling your legs soon).. I usually do a training kinda like yours where I workout 6 days straight, but then always take the 7th day off completely. I have also found for even better gains for the hardcore trainer that if you train 3 on – 1 off – 3 on – 1 off, on and on and on. Thats way you can totally kill your body, but then have an impressive 3 days to recover to then blitz em’ again.. This is what alot of Professional Athlete’s do because of how much it really helps your strength..

    Your Exercise choices ROCK!! Thats what makes me think you are not a novice at this, you seem to know a thing or two about exercises and what they workout. Thats a plus. Good Luck with it and I hope to see you write down the road on “yahoo answers” on how well your training goes.
