monday-chest/triceps
flat barbell bench press, inclined barbell bench press, pec flies, tricep pushdown, dips
tuesday- back/biceps
seated cable row, t-bar row, lat pulldowns (wide grip then close grip), deadlift, preacher curls
Wednesday-legs
squats, leg extensions, calf extensions

I'd switch to a routine that hits each body part twice a week something like Push/Pull/Legs would be a nice routine to possibly look into.
Maxes-
Deadlift- 565
Squat- 395
Bench- 300
TOTAL- 1260
Road to 600 deadlift- http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=162508021&p=1257902661&posted=1#post1257902661

Between the first two suggestions, I would choose the first.
Based on your listed conditions, we would have to know more info to give you a workout revamp that would be more personally fitting to you. Any suggestions that we could make for you would be gradual since we don't know exactly how you've [responded to / progressed with] your current workout. A drastic change to your workout program would be counter-productive to your efforts so far, considering that your workout does look fine in the meanwhile.
I would discuss more about your personal progress, then make discrete changes like adding a few more sets, raising the intensity, or moving closer/further away from intensity. You could add or take away an exercise here and there, to give more focus to a muscle [group] or exercise, respectively.

In general, everything that puts your body out of it's comfort zone is good enough of a change. It could be anything, there's plenty of ways to do that. Just to name a few: increasing intensity by shortening rest time, mixing up reps/sets/weights, swaping to different exercises, drop sets, negative reps, supersets, forced reps, pyramid sets etc. Sometimes a good week off can also do wonders.
