- In my opinion, after your 5x5 flat presses, your triceps should already be hurting pretty bad. I don't know how much more you could do with the floor presses afterwards unless the weight was dropped significantly. IMO it should be as heavy as your presses were for building your triceps strength. At the end would be a better place for RP'ing your triceps. My favorite RP was with skullcrushers.
- Decline flyes is an excellent idea. I think I'm going to start doing those as well.
- Supersetting high pulls and side laterals is some pretty hardcore shit, especially after doing the barbell rows. What's your rep ranges going to be for those? An idea could be doing 4-6 reps of high pulls supersetted with 10-15 reps with lighter side laterals. What do you think?

- Be careful doing any heavy work that uses a lot of back muscles. The day before is 5x5 JS Rows.. Last week I tried (on this day) to do power shrugs and pulled a back muscle because of those previous rows.

- What do you think about trying RP'ing your chest? Last week I did a low incline smythe for 18 RP and felt it three days later. It's a great technique for strength and mass, and Dante's DC training success plays a big part in that. I was thinking along the same lines as you with the incline press and flyes, but I felt that it would be too hard to keep increasing the weights after the 5x5 we just did. You'd have to decrease the weights negating all the progress you made over the past 8 weeks. At least with the smythe, it's a completely new movement, and a new style to adjust to.
Just ideas to throw out there. Either way, looks solid to me!
