Use assistance/weights to keep the chins in the right rep range.
Learn to deadlift properly, drive your hips forward and lean back into it, the bar should be very close if not touch your shins on a conventional deadlift. Dont try to lift the weight with your back like i see most try to do.
Program looks fine, maybe some rotator cuff work could be added.
looks pretty good, except i am an advocate of working opposing muscle groups i.e. chest/back on the same day.
read some of poliquins material he is also a proponent of opposing muscle groups. once i started training that way i will probabaly never go back to working all pushing or all pulling body parts in the same workout.
its all about experimentation. try both see what works best for you.
