Nothing wrong with it at all mine is almost exactly like yours, I just Do 7 sets of my main exercise instead of 4 like you do. My main exercises are:
Barbell rows
Bench Press
Squats
Seated BB shoulder press
 
7 sets is pretty high, what do your reps look like?

6-12 rep range and work my way up in weight, but don't forget I'm 47 and it takes me longer to get loose. Didn't need that many warm up sets in my 20s and 30s. But honestly I kind of like the 7 set workout better with the main exercise.
Chins don't do jack for me as far as size gos. Its all in the bar rows and underhand pull downs. ;)
