    Way too much volume, push/pull balance isn't great, lots of redundancy in terms of exercise selection.

    Way too much volume, man. Tons of unnecessary work that won't get you anywhere near the results you'd expect; it'd be a waste of time. Get on a solid intermediate program such as the Texas Method or the Cube. I think the Texas Method is better until you are unable to progress on a weekly basis. Actually, you might still be able to milk some more gains from Starting Strength or All Pros at this point.
    Feb 1, 2013 (started getting serious)/Current maxes at bw of 156-162lbs

    Bench 205x3 (went back up about two inches before touching chest)/300
    Squat 230x5 (half squat)/350 (below parallel)
    Deadlift 185x5/475

    I support high volume programs, but this is way too much. Why not stick to the PHAT routine as written?

    "Critique *MY* PHAT Program" ...
    That's where you're doing something wrong mate. There is only one PHAT and that's Layne Norton's. The program exists for a reason, you can simply use it the way it's designed. It has balance, and reasoning behind the exercises.
    By trying to make your own PHAT routine, the routine is no longer PHAT and therefor most likely not good.
    This routine you've listed has bad push : pull ratio's and way too much volume.
    Stick to PHAT and I mean the real and only PHAT if you want to train optimally.
    Fierce 5 ULPPL is also a great program if you want something alike.
