IMO - on Tuesday do Back first, Biceps after (well your back exercises are also bicep exercises for the most part, but the point is that you want to be doing compounds before isolations). On Thursday, give Legs their own day and move Shoulders to Saturday. Also it's a contentious point but I would Deadlift on Back day, not Legs day. The lift works both muscle groups of course, but I just couldn't deadlift after squatting, not if I was using near maximal weights at least (which I presume you would be given the routine is designed for hypertrophy). Other than that the exercise selection isn't really great. On Tuesday I would do a rowing movement with weights, ie Barbell, Dumbbell, T-Bar, Pendlay, etc and I would do this before any vertical pulling movement, and speaking of which, I would do Chin Ups before Pulldowns, if I was in fact to do both movements. On Saturday I would ditch things like Kickbacks and Tricep Dips as they are stupid and pointless. And on Thursday I would add in a posterior chain driven movement (to replace Deadlifting), something like Romanian Deadlift or Good Mornings.
