How long have you been working out for? Why are you using higher reps when it comes to working the lower body?

On upper day I suggest that you do either barbell bench press or dumbell bench press instead of pushups. You also need to add more pulling, I suggest pullups or pulldowns. Lower day looks pretty solid but I think you should drop the good mornings and add hamstring curls.

So the workout would look like:

Upper
Bench press-3 X 8-12
Military press-2 X 8-12
barbell rows-3 X 8-12
Pullups-3 X 8-12
face pulls-2 X 8-12
bicep curls-1 X 8-12
tricep extensions-1 X 8-12


Lower
ATG squats-3 X 8-12
SLDL-3 X 8-12
Lunges-2 X 8-12
Hamstring curls-2 X 8-12
calf raises-3 X 20
