    I would add another upper body pulling movement each day. I would say add a unilateral lower body movement to one of those days as well.

    Rep scheme also seems a little bit haphazard. Are you going for size, strength, health, or something else?

    I'd start Day 1 with Deads. I've found it's best to do them early in the workout.

    Yes, one leg at a time (Lunge, split squat, 1-leg RDL, etc.).

    I would organize your program a little differently. Do some concurrent periodization by starting your workout with a heavy lift or two (3-6 reps), then drop the intensity on the subsequent lifts (8-12 reps) for more mechanical work and volume. Or you could do some linear periodization. Start by training in the 8-10 range for a few weeks, then go to the 6-8 range, then the 4-6 range for a few weeks. Or do some undulating periodization where in a given week you use multiple loading parameters, one day a week devoted to each. There are some options to choose from.
