I think you would only really benefit from that routine if you are anabolic user.

I imagine because of the huge volume................

Try it out Bader and see how it goes. I personally wouldnt put so much emphasis on one muscle unless i was happy about my size in all other areas (which im not).

What?
No Squats?

Sorry.
I know its only a 4 weeker,but it still looks like a bit too much volume to me.
More for your joints really.Elbows and shoulders are gonna take a good hammering.you'll need to keep your joint supps very high IMO.
Loads of glucosamine and cod liver oil me thinks.
you should do a journal,let people see how it goes.

I don't think the routine as described can be of benefit if done for 4 weeks. I think it could be something one does for 1-2 weeks but that is it.
