FAR too much upper body work, you have nothing to do with legs in this program apart from squats. How is that balanced? Your legs make up half of your bodyweight, why give them anything less than half your time?

Too much Chest work and pushing in general.

Not enough upper body pulling.

NO lower body pulling (ham/hip dominant) exercises AT ALL.

Rep ranges are too static, read up on periodization.

You can add your core work to your actual workouts and give yourself a few more days off.

Basically, id just scrap this because theres nothing good about it whatsoever.

Read the sticky topics in the training section and learn how to set up something decent.

1 - Balance your upper/lower work.
2 - Balance your pushing/pulling work.
3 - Periodize your program.
