Your probably not overtaining in a systemic sense although your shoulders are probably taking a beating on day 1. If you are trying to improve strength then there is no reason to have all the pressing shoved together on one day. You should have some pressing and some rowing/pullups/pulldown on day one and then do the rest on day three...

Also there isn't any sense in doing flat bench for four rep sets followed by incline bench for 4 rep sets. Simply speaking you could probably lift a bit heavier and get some more volume on one of the lifts. Then go to a secondary for higher reps. Preferable a dumbell bench press, imo.

I mentioned in your other thread about making sure your deadlift technique is correct. That's paramount.

You back being smoked like that is most likely a function of endurance and core conditioning/activation. You back may be taking too much of the stabilization load and also lacking in stength endurance. Hip extensions (like back extensions except the back is set and you use the hips) for high reps plus statics can help with the endurance. Planks of all kinds. Front plate squats to get the abs in the game.

Without knowing what your deads look like though it is difficult to advize. Could be some flexibility/strength imbalance that is simply transferring to load to the back improperly. Tight hip flexors, hamstrings and erectors and weak inactive glutes will do this. Improper form would exacerbate it.

I've had the same problem before though and sense I knew that my technique was good and my glutes were active I took care of it with lots of core endurance work and the extensions I spoke of. Statics especially.

Also a proper "classic" Romanian deadlift can help greatly on the endurance front. Basically you take a many pronged approach.

This kind of thing I am speaking of is one of the proper uses of volume when building strength. For instance there are much better uses of volume than those lying leg curls in terms of contribution to your overall strength and moving the big lifts.

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