    I'd add more posterior chain work to your lower body split. You only have one thing for hams/glutes and three for quads.

    It doesn't look like an upper/lower routine to me. It still looks like a typical split renamed as upper/lower. I would create an equal amount of upper and lower routines and then alternate between them.
