This would constitute overtraining. I would limit your chest to 3 exercises with a max of 3 sets per exercise. Perhaps try supersetting flyes with bench or dips with bench.
And if you're doing 10 reps at 135 lbs. for your first set but you can do 10 reps at 145 lbs. for your 3rd set then you're not doing it hard enough. You can probably do 145 lbs for 10 reps as your first set and possibly 150 lbs. and 155 lbs. for consecutive sets of 8 and 6 reps, or possibly even more. But since you can obviously do more than 10 reps at 135 lbs for your first set, then do more, don't just stop at 10 reps. Go to 15 or 20 if you can, don't just stop at 10. Keep pushing out reps until you can't put up another one, but when it passes a given number, say 10 reps, then up the weight.
