Frank and Gq have more experience with the big lifts, but in my experience following ME deadlifts with ME bench the very next day is a mistake. Not enough rest, but also, my lats and tris take enough of a beating when pulling to negatively effect my bench.

Gq's right though about keeping it simple; I just wonder about that particular element of your proposed schedule.

*I just glanced at the Ed Coan routine, and it seems there's a lot of rowing and pulldowns too... I'd bet your lats will be done, and unable to perform as well as you'd like the next day for bench.
