Good stuff, but I'd change a couple of things:
- do your cardio after the workout. cardio as a warm up is ok, but if you run for 17 minutes, leave that after you're done lifting

5 days in a row is A LOT. I'd recommend 3 days in a row, day off, 2 days in a row, day off. That way you'll regenerate much better.

I'd suggest romanian deadlift for hamstrings if your back can handle it. Ham curls alone just don't cut it.

Drop good mornings, your back will thank you. Focus on pull ups, do them first. The best single exercise for uppor body there is.

I'd suggest you add tricep bench press (narrow grip)

Standard deadlift instead of romanian deadlift on this day.
Chest exercise sounds OK.
My 2 cents.
