Hows my upper lower split?

[sunsoutgunsout8]

Hi all,

Haven't tried to reinvent the wheel or anything, have pretty much just took the parts I liked from Fierce 5 and Lyle McDonald's splits and combined them. Any problems with the following? My main aim is hypertrophy/aesthetics...

Upper A
Flat Bench 4x6-8
Pendlay Row 4x6-8
Incline Bench 3x10-12
pull ups 3xAMRAP
BB Curls 3x10
Reverse Flies 3x12

Lower A
Squats 4x6-8
Good mornings 3x10
Leg Press 3x10
Leg Curls 3x10
Calf raises 3x20
Hanging leg raises 3x10

Upper B
OHP 4x6-8
Lat Pulldowns 4x6-8
Flat DB bench 3x10-12
Bent over DB rows 3x10-12
Tricep pressdowns 3x10
Face Pulls 3x12

Lower B
Front Squat 4x6-8
Romanian Deadlift 3x8
Leg Extensions 3x10
Leg Curls 3x10
Calf raises 3x20
Hanging leg raises 3x10

Progression is the typical pick a weight i can do 4x6 on, work up to 4x7/4x8 over a few weeks then up the weight and start at 4x6 again.

I do have a quick question if anyone can spare a minute... I've been looking around for an upper/lower routine I liked and found very few decent ones that contained deadlifts. If I wanted to substitute deadlifts into this routine how would you recommend doing so?

Could I just drop out the Romanian and do a straight swap, putting it before front squats?

Cheers in advance!

Replace goodmornings with deadlifts, and you want to avoid doing deadlifts before any kind of free weighted squat... gonna kill your lower back...

hmmm, well half the reason I am changing to an upper lower 4 days a week is because I can't hadle squats and deadlifts on the same day - the weights too heavy for me and it kills my lower back.

Most U/L i see just don't have deadlift at all.

If you want deadlifts in the routine, I'd do the RDLs after the squats on lower A and deadlifts after the front squats on lower B

Check out GST, in the stickies.

4 day split, Squat, Pull, Lift, Press.

It's pretty much what you're looking for but the progression is alot better structured through multiple rep ranges.
