Oh, I just noticed...you said a three day layout but I only see Monday and Thursday. Did you leave out a day or did you mean cardio as part of your layout?

An intermediate 5x5 might be a good idea but if you like to workout this way there is nothing wrong with it. You just don't want to overuse one tool like supersets. There are a lot of advantages to doing some supersets. At the same time you are going to tend to drop intensity somewhat if you do all supersets so like I said...you should at least have your primary movements by themselves. After that there may be no reason why you have to do 5x5 on everything.

If Monday and Thursday are your two weight days I would suggest something like this (only suggestions)

Mon:
Deads 2-3x5
Bench/Row 3 to 4 sets 6 to 8 reps
Lunge or other single leg squat variation/dumbell push press (same set rep scheme as above)
Chins or pullups/static core exercise like planks: 3 sets each (core exercise is done for time and chins to or near failure)

Thurs:
Squats 5x5
Bench variation/Row variation 3 sets of 8 to 12
Dead variation or goodmornings/ab flexion

Those suggestions are based on what you posted...

If you want to add accessoris I'd prob put them one Thursday since that gives you more time off. But with two days you can pretty much just distribute the volume evenly.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
