First off, welcome aboard.

Your organization is fine, there is nothing inherently wrong with it. At this point, I would assume your goal is to add weight to all the big lifts each time you train.....the one suggestion I have is to bag the supersets, all they do is limit load and give a false sense that you're 'working extra hard'....worry about getting good at the bench and the overhead, and don't worry about making them tougher and limiting the load you can handle by supersetting them with things.......it is mental for a lot of guys.....but from my experience, things like flyes and lateral raises really don't contribute to gains and don't provide carryover to lifts, and are never missed when they are scrapped from a routine....if you like them and they don't interefere with recovery and you don't lose site of what really counts, then they are harmless enough.
