I think I have to slow down a litte like recomended in Programming for strenght for older atheletes. I like to keep three workouts a week and not to switch to the recomended two days off between the workouts, because I enjoy the time in the studio.
My idea was to change the wendnesday to a light squat-day and the squat Workout to 5x5 (also recomended in Programming strength for older atheletes). Also I think its time to cut on the deadlifts and introduce the clean and chin-ups. Maybe its good to introduce a backoff-set for the DL to allow a slower progress. Any thoughts?
