If you want something you?ve never had
You will have to do things you?ve never done

FIRST 8 WEEKS
Saturday: Legs
Squats 4 sets
ATG Squats 3 sets
Leg Curls 4 sets

All reps 6-10 except ATG (5) and calf raises (20)
Cardio and abs

Sunday: Chest, Triceps
Flat Bench 4 sets
Incline Bench 4 sets
Flat Flyes 3ets
Pullovers 1 set
CG Bench 3 sets
Skull crushers 3 sets
Pushdowns 2 sets
All 6-10 reps
Will alternate each week between 3 sets flyes and pullovers and 1 set of the other

Monday: OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday: Back
Bent Rows 4 sets
Dead lifts 4 sets

All reps between 6-10 excepts deads (5)

I?ll do some other bicep exercise but haven?t picked them yet. The reason is that after barbell curls my pump is so much I don?t feel any thing with any other exercise so I will figure those out.

why not put bi's with back when i do back i get a pump in my bi's allready. that would also let you do more for shoulders. try hitting shoulders piece by piece side, front, rear, and traps. this will give you a better shoulder workout. I tipically do 24 sets 4, each and 4 for presses. works for me. try it.

even if you dont do the volume i would still put bi's with back, but thats me there isn't anything wrong with yours its just personal taste.

I'd keep back and bi's separate.  The back is a large muscle group and really needs to be worked on its own (although you can do abs or calves).  The bi's help out with most pulling movements, so by the time you're done with back, the bi's are already semi-fatigued, preventing you from going as heavy as you would like. 
Hitting bi's after shoulders allows you to lift really heavy on a fresh muscle.

As for your routine:-

You'll prob need more quad work.  You've only got 7 sets for quads, yet 8 for tri's?  Maybe add in another squat movement, or leg extensions. 

Maybe some stiff legged deads for hams?

Either increase the number of sets for calves, or add a second calf workout to back day?

Most of your back exercises are more for thickness than width, so throw in some chins/pull-ups (or pulldowns) every other week.

Shoulders will also need more work.  The power cleans will work more traps than anything else, so you might need another pressing movement, or -  I used to do lateral supersets: 10 reps front raises, 10 reps side, 10 reps rear, no rest between.  A couple of these at the end should finish off shoulders nicely.

Anyways, hope this is of some use.

I don't think Bi's need to be treated like a big muscle like back even semi fatigued they are fine.
