Reply With QuoteI wouldnt say it would be better to switch. Front squats are easier on ya than back squats. But do whatever you like. The routine looks ok to me. But I would drop those isolation movements on lower day (extensions/curls) and add Glute ham raises and hypers.

upper/lower routine I found
I found this routine over on another website and I think it looks good.
Upper - Monday (heavy)
Bench Press - 3x5
Barbell row - 4x5
Standing push Press - 3x8
T-Bar Row 4x8
arms
Lower - Tuesday (light)
Squats - 2x10
SLDL - 3x10
leg extensions/curls - 2x15
calves
Upper - Thursday (light)
Incline DB press 2x10
BTN Pullups - 3x10
Seated DB press - 2x10
Chinups - 3x10
arms
Lower - Friday (Heavy)
Deadlifts - 3x3
Front squats 4x5
calves
The one thing I noticed it has squats on "light" day and front squats on "heavy" day. Would it be better if I reversed this? I can squat more weight with a regular squat meaning I can go heavier.
Any opinions or suggestions on this routine?

Another thing I noticed that I forgot to mention.. On Heavy Upper there is barbell row and t-bar row and then on Light Upper there is pullups and chinups. Would it be better to do barbell row with pullups on heavy day and then t-bar row with chinups on the other?

I do like that better. I would much rather have one horizontal lift with a vertical lift.

Id add in some unilateral leg work aswell.
Take out the isolation and add in a few things like Single Leg RDLs, Lunges, Step Ups, One Legged Hypers, etc.http://www.getlifting.info
