First off, I think it needs to have some bench press in there too. Chins and Dips doesn't seem like enough upper body work at all. Also, 4-7 days between 1 and 2? IK said it well in another thread:

On average, most people only need between 2 and 4 days for adequate recovery. And by going too far past your needed recovery period before training said bodypart again, you're not giving adequate (ie; frequent enough) stimulus to the muscle to provoke optimal gains.
Taking a full 7 days off before your next workout is way too much IMO. For Rippetoe's, even, which works at a much higher intensity, the recovery time suggested is only about two days.
