Critique my routine please

This is the routine I've been using and it's really helped me in a lot of areas strength wise. However I feel like my chest, back, and shoulders could really use some help. I'd like to add width and thickness to my back and shoulders, and any help with my chest is great. I feel that my chest is one of my weakest body parts. Here's my weekly routine in full, comments and suggestions on how I can improve would be greatly appreciated.

Monday: Chest and Triceps
Benchpress pyramid
Lockouts
Dumbbell press
triceps superset
-cable pushdown
-rope pushdown and split
-overhead french curl

Tuesday: Legs and shoulders
Light legs:
hack squats
calf raises
speed squat
Shoulders:
standing dumbbell press
seated Arnold press
upright rows
military press
cable wide-grip pulldowns
delt raises(hammer and regular)

Wednesday: back and biceps
deadlift pyramid
stiff leg deadlift
hyperextensions
bent over rows
seated rows
back flyes
standing bicep curls
preacher curls

Thursday: Light bench/triceps
3x5's
short rep bench(regular and reverse)
incline bench
3/4 press, short reps
delt raises
cable tricep
heavy standind dumbbell presses

Friday: Squat/shoulders
Heavy squat
Same shoulders as Tuesday.

All of the weights are relativelly low. I can usually do four plates for my deadlift with 3-4 reps. My bench is around 310 for three reps. Squat is my best, but I really don't need help with my legs. It's just my upper body that I feel is really lagging. It's not ripped at all, just kind of bulky. I'm looking to really get into lifting for rugby next fall, and just for general health.

Other facts that might help:
Age: 20
BF: around 18 percent
Supplements: None, but I am considering taking Celltech and NOX3 over the summer to help.
Cardio: I bike about half an hour a day
Diet: Crappy during the school year, but in the summer, I'll have more controll over it.
Thanks a ton guys!
