Upper/Lower Split Routine (just messin' around) - looking for feedback

[otehblasian]

Hello forum people,

I was just looking at some of the various routines here on these forums and I felt like implementing what I see into a Upper/Lower split to fit my needs.
Reason being is that I workout at home for now and I can't do squats safely, but I can do them in the school gym ---> so I'd do upper @ home and lower @ school.

Anyways, here's the routine I sorta made up (more like taking 2 routines and trying to blend them):

UPPER A:
#1. Flat Bench 3x6-8
#2. Incline DB Bench 3x6-8
#3. Weighted Chinups 3x6-8
#4. Bent-Over Barbell Row 3x6-8
#5. Shrugs 3x8-10
#6. Skullcrushers 3x8-10
#7. Side Lateral Raises 3x8-10

UPPER B:
#1. Flat Bench 3x6-8
#2. Shoulder Press (Military) 3x6-8
#3. Weighted Pullups 3x6-8
#4. Bent-Over Barbell Row 3x6-8
#5. CGBP
#6. Barbell Curl 3x8-10
#7. Bent Lateral Raises 3x8-10

LOWER:
#1. Squat 3x6-8
#2. Leg Curl 3x8-10
#3. *DL 5x5 - (Ramped up to 1 heavy set)
#4. Standing Calf Raise 3x20-25

*Can substitute for SLDL if needed (3x6-10)

My goals are size and aesthetics so yeah.. Schedule would be doing the upper on Mon/Wed/Fri -> A/B/A then B/A/B. I'd fit lower in between (@school).

Any feedback is appreciated!

P.S I'm just thinking here.. don't bash me cause of my terribad stats (srs)

The Upper days look fine, but more should be added to the lower days, I'd do

Back Squat 3x6-8
Front Squat 3x6-8
Stiff Legged Deadlift 3x6-8
Leg Extensions 3x10
Leg Curls 3x10
Calf Raises STanding 3x10
Seated Calf Raises 3x10

And do both upper and lower for 3 days or just do both for two, legs should have equal work to upper body

Alright, thanks for the suggestion bro! I'll continue to tweak it to my needs.

Your Lower rotuine should be:

squat
leg press
sldl
hamstring curls
standing calf raises
seated calf raises.

If you're looking to do an Upper/Lower, I would advise you to do equal work with each, every week.

Example would be 4 days a week, Upper A-Lower-Rest-Upper B-Lower; instead of 3 days a week.

Don't do U/L/U/L/U/L/Rest. You're lower back will get raped

Alright thanks dude, I'll try that out. I'm guessing 6-8 reps on everything there except calf raises amirite?

Yeah, I know that :P I just really enjoy deadlifting, so I wanted to try and fit it in there somewhere.

Your choice.
On seated calf raises specifically though, I recommend higher volume like 2x20.

Make another Lower day then. One day you'd max effort your squat and just do SLDLs. The other day you'd max effort your deadlift, then do lighter Back Squat or Front Squats.

Okidoki, I'll try that out tomorrow hopefully. Thanks again for your input!

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the feedback dude, appreciate it.
