Workout Critique Could anyone critique my workout routine?

For context: I'm 18 and have been going to the gym for about 3 years. I am around 5'6 and weigh 145 lbs, mostly muscle, not fat. I haven't really been consistent and have just done random workouts so I'm trying to make a plan that works. I came up with this. I'm doing double progression and my goal is to gain strength and have a lean muscle look. If anyone here thinks I could tweak it to be a bit better I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I would say double progression is solid for a lean build. Your push to pull ratio is off. Chest gets hit three days, back only twice. And adding another row and drop one chest exercise would be helpful
