May be a good time to back off a little, drop your weights down for 2 weeks or so.

as far as the routine, it looks to me like there is a whole lot of volume, and overlap. for instance on day one you have 3 chest movements, the first of which is flat bench for 5x5. Day 2 you are starting with shoulder press 5x5. You will be hitting both chest and shoulders two days in a row (each of those movements works both). I would switch some of that up, but that is just my opinion.
and what about this one
DAY 1

bench press 5x5
squat 5x5
curls or close grip lat pulldowns (face) 5x5
bent over 5x5
calves 5x20
abs 5x15

DAY 2
deadlift 5x5
lat pull down or rows 5x5
military press 5x5
close grip bench or dips 5x5
calves 5x20
abs 5x15
