Al gave great points- allow me to say this:
You are not going to get anywhere, your foundational strength isn't going to develop and you are going to look absolutely ridiculous if you don't train your legs. It's one of the biggest mistakes new lifters make. I know it's a heavy day and it taxes you, but suck it up and just do it. Ditch that last running day and make it your leg day.
After talking to a lot of coaches and watching different teams work out I really feel football doesn't teach you to do a whole lot properly in terms of weightlifting so learn how to squat, deadlift, bench and do the clean and press the proper way. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding is a great resource and I suggest you get it.

Hey there. Im not sure I completely understand this... you run every day during the conditioning days, and then one other day (on day 3)?
Well anyway, I have a couple of comments. First of all, good on you, its a great initiative. You clearly have drive and thats great.
Now, here are some thoughts that struck me while looking at your routine:
- You might be trying to do too much too quickly. Thats a lot of exercise, particularly if you add martial arts. In the very least remember to take one rest day every week with no exercise.
- Another thing is that you do not have any weight training for your legs. I would work in a leg day (maybe at the expense of a running day?), and do some good old fashioned squats. They are really effective not only in boosting explosive power on your legs, but they also benefit your other exercises by increasing your testosterone level. No other exercise is better for you (deadlifts come second btw).
- Im not entirely sure about your split. The most common splits tend to have arms following the major muscle groups, or divide the body according to push or pull motions. To be honest Im not sure if there are any problems with your system, just that I have never seen one like it. A more typical division would be chest, shoulders, triceps/ Back, biceps/ Legs.
Finally, remember that with a routine like this you have to eat properly. If you want to bulk you are going to need to intake a serious amount of calories. Prepare yourself to be able to eat every 3 hours, each time eating a balanced meal with 25 grams of protein or so (depending on your lean bodyweight). Supplement with shakes, but dont overdo it. You need a lot of nutrition to do the job right. Remember its one third training, one third eating, and one third sleeping.
Well, good luck. Sorry if its a bit muddled, I am very sleepy :)
Happy exercising.
