I think a 3X5 is good....on a cut, but looking at the rest of your program, you aren't on a cut.
Secondly, do your deadlifts on your back day.
Third, where is your upper back?
You may also want to look at your chest day. Without looking it up, I wanna say I've been advised against decline flyes, but can't recall the reason. You can go with a decline press & change your incline to incline flye.
Those are some of the things I noticed. Like I said, look at an established program and I'll think you'll get to where you're going a lot faster as they've already done the thought and theory behind the lifts.

Thanks for the input. I did Starting Strength for a couple of months Dec-Jan before I broke my finger, then had to take a few months off before getting cleared again (even getting to bend it again sucked). Anyways got cleared and started this about a month after.
My upper back I hit with the pullups and the rows. Even feel it with the military press (or I may be just deceiving myself with that) a bit. Does the upper back need more than that? I could stick with this and go to 5x5 for some of the sets, but after 3-4 months should I not mix it up? Or stick with it until I stop seeing gains?
I am trying to lose a little around the waist. At about 8.7% BF now and looking to get below 8. I'm so good on the weekdays, but man those weekends are hard. Ha anyways that's a problem I need to face on my own. Any help with the workout is appreciated!
