About your log...you have squats sandwhiched by pressing movements. When I lifted a lot, I usually did by body part, in a three day split, essentially pushing movements (chest delts and tris), pulling movements (back and bis) and legs being my 3 days. I've never done a non pushing movement between two of those...does that assist you in recovering and to do more weight/better form on the second on? The triceps ext at the end works in my mind easier :) Chins after deadlifts though...3 sets over 10 is pretty nice.
I like the concept of your 3 rep goal 25...how has it worked out for you? It kind of reminds me of a cardio-flavored version from my days in the military I picked up a guy's routine of doing pushups, free squats, crunches, diamond pushups, russian twists, wide arm pushups, flutter kicks in a big chain. You start with 10 reps and you do as many sets, repeating the larger set as many times as possible, and when you can get through 8 giant sets, you add reps. Time limit was 25 minutes, but I did it for 40 because I had 45 minutes of PT time on my own (with a 300/300 score on PFT).
