Default Is this workout OK

For the past two months I've been doing the following workout

Military Press 5 x 5
Pendlay Rows 5 x 5
Bench Press 5 x 5
Abs

I've made reasonable gains. About 6kg. I'll admit I've put a bit some fat on as well.

the same workout is perfomed on monday, wednesday and friday. Upping the weight every week. I've got an injured knee so haven't been able to train legs, but for the last couple of weeks I've been tacking on to the start of the workout 3 sets of very light weight squats (up to about 40kg) and a couple of sets of deadlifts, again only light weight.

My main concern is the frequency of the Military pressing. Do you think doing them 3 times a week is too much ?

I'm gradually going to try and up the leg weights and when I'm confident with my knees I'll start a proper 5 x 5 routine.

What do you think ?

Thanks,

gong
