The reason you only train 3x/week on a 5x5 program is that you are pushing yourself pretty hard with big, heavy movements (SQ, DL, BP, overhead press, etc...) and you can't recover if you train more often than that. A good 5x5 set-up has been proven over years and years to be effective, while what you are doing probably doesn't have that same track record.
I don't like your set-up for a few reasons. 1)You are doing 3 hard training days in a row then have an easy day followed by 2 rest days. You would be better off spreading out the heavy work. 2) You are throwing in your leg work like an afterthought. You have an entire day for chest and triceps, yet you are putting legs with something else even though there is a ton more muscle mass in the lower body than in the chest and triceps. 3) You use your abs heavily in most lower body movements (i.e. squats) yet you work them the day before your leg day. You would be better served doing ab work on the days you work your lower body and certainly not the day immediately prior. 4) You do your shoulder work the day after your chest and triceps. All pressing movements use both the shoulders and triceps and you are trying to do heavy pressing on back to back days.
Here are some options if you are serious about getting big and strong:
- 5x5 type of program; this could be Starting Strength (if you are still a beginner), Texas method, or some 5x5 program written by Bill Starr; any of these would be better than what you are doing now
- 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler; You can buy this in e-book or hard copy form for ~$20 and will tell you exactly how to set up a program that will yield results in the long-term; I would suggest the boring but big assistance work template to start with if you go this route
