Move lat pulls to your back day if that's how you're going to lay out your split. Also, military press should probably be the first or second lift on your shoulder day. You might want to alternate.
If you're going heavy, then this routine will wear you down. I do a push/pull/leg split. I have at least one rest day between my pull and leg day. Always. I don't have a problem pulling and pushing on consecutive days or pushing and doing legs on consecutive days. I still add in rest days when I need them.
I can understand the logic behind pyramiding sets. But, I don't think it's a very effective method. I would recommend working in one rep range (ex 8 reps for 3 sets) for about 3 weeks and then changing your rep ranges.
(EDIT: What I wrote wasn't clear at all. Let me clarify. Changing rep ranges each mesocycle is more effective. So Mesocycle1 = 3X8, M2 = 3X5, M3 = 3X3, M4=3X8, M5 = 3X5, etc) After you finish three weeks at 3X3, then move back to 3X8 & continue the cycle.
Check out Rippetoe's SS. It will be a more effective routine than the one that you posted IMO.
