Too many days off and a strict 5, 3, 1 is for power lifting and a maintained progression. I've always just used a simple 3x10 at 65%, 70%, and 75% of my estimated 1RM and do as many reps as possible for a final set to determine if an increase is necessary after the cycle. Do some assistance exercises along with your PUSH interval as well, wherever you are weakest, like Ben said some isolation exercises to compliment your compound lifts would be beneficial for your routine. Remember performing a 1RM and estimating a 1RM are different and the best rep range is one that puts your estimated 1RM up from the previous cycle.

Just combine your PUSH/PULL and SPEED workouts to make it simple and get more out of it; a cycle like this would work well for example, with a minimum of 30 minutes in between AM and PM and after that the closer the intervals the better:
[spoiler]MON AM - PUSH
MON PM - SPEED
TUES AM - PULL
TUES PM - SPEED
WEDS AM - REST
WEDS PM - REST
THURS AM - PUSH
THURS PM - SPEED
FRI AM - PULL
FRI PM - SPEED
SAT AM - REST
SAT PM - REST
SUN AM - REST
SUN PM - REST[/spoiler]
