The only thing that seems out of place (which might be for a reason) is your side laterals for 24 reps.  I would cut that in half and add at least 5-10 lbs.  Bump up to 30's for 12-15 reps.  You definitely have a complete workout, if that's what you want to hear.  As far as the BNP, great weight.

IMO, two kinds of side laterals in one workout is kind of overkill. I'd think you'd be better off adding a front raise or wide grip upright row. I do the BNP also but only once or twice a month, it's a great exercise but it does irritate my shoulders a bit, try pressing to the front every other workout, or pre exhaust with laterals so you don't go as heavy on the BNP.

I always do BNP since i started lifting,works for me and never had a problem,i believe that front raises are useless since the front head is also trained during the chest workouts.Also,instead of doing 4 sets of dumbell laterals,i do 2 sets of dumbell and 2 sets of cable(i love the feeling that cables give)which i do holding the cable grip from behind the back.High reps for laterals give a good feeling,i can use 48 pounds for 12 reps but i'll have to cheat and my left wrist aches(old injury)...

myself i prefer presses to the front and i rarely go as low as 6 reps for shoulders as i believe it easier to injure that muscle group than a lot of others (although some with natural very strong shoulders can get away with almost anything)

i guess youll find out what works for you  :)

i think you calculate kilos x 2.2 to get pounds

for example 100kgs multiplied with 2.2 is = 220 pounds
