Phil S., in my opinion BB is a never ending research of what works better for our bodies. So my advice is try your program and the next phase as well and see what happens.
There is the definite possibility to choose a workout for single bodyparts and get good results. I have never used this system. Using ABBH and ABBH2, I alternate leg days with pushing/pulling days. What I like is the one day on/one day off scheme that allows me enough time to recover. As you certainly know, it is during off days that you build the muscle. In your program you train 5 days in a row … If you read T-Nation programs you will find a majority of 4 days training/week and no more than 2 days in a row. At the end of your training phases you may try different approaches such as CT’s OVT or CW’s ABBH.
Hope that helps !

I think the overall program looks good. I started CT’s program about 2 weeks ago. I am doing arms and legs a little bit different from your program.
I’m doing legs with the standard giant set, superset and then finisher. I use leg ext, squat. bulgarian squat, then RDL with split squat, and reverse hyper as the finisher.
On arms I will do a giant set for biceps and then one for triceps. Then I will superset a finisher for each.
I also added in some calf training on one of the ab days.
I think the program is pretty tough and it seems to be working well.
I think you’re doing too much for your hamstrings, you might want modify that. Seriously, legs are 50% of your body but you are training them 20% of the time. I always had knee trouble untill I trained quads and hams seperatly, even in a bodybuilding phase.
