Not easy working out at home but looking good.

There are 2 chest (pressing) days and only 1 day for back, arms, legs etc. Is there a reason for this?
Unless you are trying to improve a lagging chest, you really shouldn't press twice as much as you do everything else. It could lead to serious shoulder imbalances.

On tuesday, deadlifts are after bent over rows, which means you could potentially be doing deads with a tired lower back, not to mention tired grip. If you form isnt 100% right in 100% of the sets (incl the last heavy set) you risking a strained lower back.

Same thing goes for Wed, lunges after squats. Also, you doing sqauts too soon after deadlifts..your lower back is not gonna like you once you get to your heavy sets in you workout. I'd swop the Wed workout to Thurs or even Friday. Personally I'd also put Squats first in the workout: as you have it here you have a tired core (abs and lower back) when you do squats: very dangerous!

For what its worth, I have a fairly simple routine that works great for me:
  • Back: Deads, Chinups and Rows
  • Legs: Heavy squats (6 to 8 reps), 15 to 20 rep squats (75% of 6 rep max), Lunges, Roman deads and calves.
  • Chest: Flat Bench, Weighted Dips, Inclines
