so, nothing for legs?
also, tricep cable pulldown? triceps are a pushing muscle, so no pulling exercise is going to work them. do you mean cable pressdowns?

I'd add some pullups or at least a slightly wider than shoulder width lat pulldowns.

I don't see much rhyme or reason to the routine as a whole though.

Go slow and controlled, remember to keep good form. Just reminders, lol, I don't really want to tell you what to do and get you in a hole.

yes, heavy weights, and 6 reps is where I'd start for gaining size and strength. probably 3 sets of 6.

I wouldn't do 3 bench presses in the same routine though. do two, maybe one with dumbbells and the other with a barbell, and then some sort of flyes at the end or beginning, flat, inclined or decline.

I'd also trade skullcrushers for close grip bench occasionally, just to hit them differently. And unless you mean bench dips, your chest may be too fatigue'd to do normal wide grip dips, so you may need to swap in tricep pressdowns if that happens. Just kinda go with how you feel.
