Having two high intensity strength days back to back is just going to accrue CNS fatigue faster. At the very least you'd want to spread those two out. Why back squat and then deadlift on consecutive days? That's a very poor idea. You're also doing a couple of additional back movements on both days. There is soooo much volume on your hypertrophy days. If you give a decent effort in the gym, you'll burn out in a couple of weeks. It's possible that you're a freak of nature that the laws of physiology don't apply to, and you'll do really well. You're trying to reinvent the wheel by coming up with a totally unconventional workout. There is no way that you're going follow this program to a "T" and have optimal gains. It will have to be modified a lot...even if you ignore me now, you'll end up making changes later because it's not a good routine. You'd be better off IMO to start with something realistic.
