    Why not include some lower pulls on leg day? I would drop the leg extensions and add some form of deadlifts.
    Alternating some of your exercises is not a bad idea either (eg front and back squats)

    My bad, I was in a rush that day.
    I would still alternate the exercises(front/back squats) and the order for leg day(one day squats first, one day deads). I would also add an additional hamstring exercise on leg day, since leg extensions are quad dominant. Personally I like all my finishing exercises to be unilateral. I would also throw in some cleans in one of your upper body days.
