I would probably switch Monday & Wednesday. You have a LOT of volume in two upper body workouts back to back. I'd probably drop one of the presses Sunday and one of the rows Monday. And move the Thursday workout to Friday because it's a total body workout...so it will be good to have a day off before you workout to prevent overtraining.

You may want a day or two off before the squat/bench/dead day. I believe that it will be fairly heavy to squat/dead/bench two days in a row.
