Looks like a pretty straight ahead periodizing approach. I would decrease the number of back and chest exercises on each day by 1. Also, to keep things interesting I like to do 8 weeks of for size (10-12 reps), 8 weeks for size and strength (2 sets of 5, then 2-3 sets of 8-10), and finally 3 weeks for strength (5 sets of 5, then 1 set 8-10). I do the first to weeks of the first 2 cycles at 80% and 90% respectively in order to gear up for the approach and incorporate any new exercises I have thrown in. I also believe that it is during these lower intensity phases that I actually see some growth. With 90 seconds between sets this should put you up around 1 hour 15 minutes. 2 days on, 1 day off, with the 7th day a rest day.

Oh yea. To make it a bulking approach, you'll want to shoot for 20% more calories than maintenance. That includes 1.5 - 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight.

This routine is supposed to be used with the aforementioned steroids cycle. Now my steroids cycle is 10 weeks while your routine is a 19 weeks one!
