seperate chest and thighs......thats a lil much........and only workout 4 days a week.......those "weak " muscles need rest too to get bigger.

work shoulders only once a week.....remember you train your shoulders when you train your chest and triceps...

also as andrew suggested separate thighs chest workouts....don't train 2 large muscle groups in 1 workout...you won't have the intensity to train hard for one or the other or both.....also you can probably skip forearm training...if you go heavy on your biceps and back days they'll get strong as well...

chest may suffer doing shoulders before bench.....delts are a major control muscle of the bench press. I find if my fornt delts or upper chest is weak, my bench press surrers by moving "back" to much and I hit the rack, or loose the weight.
