Comments for my new training routine. What do you guys think?

[CaptainNapalm]

After doing some research and taking advice from more experienced lifters on this site I decided to change up my training routine since I've been on my current one for about 6 months and my main goal is to gain more size. My previous routine consisted of compound movements with just as many isolation movements. I got decent results from it but have been told that to gain size I should be incorporating more compound movements at the sacrifice of isolation movements. Here is what I came up with:

DAY 1 - SATURDAY: LOWER BODY / SHOULDERS
Squats ??? 3 sets (12-15 reps/set)
Hang clean & squat ??? 1 set (6-8 reps/set)
Clean & Press ??? 2 sets (6-8 reps/set)
Dead lifts ??? 3 sets (6-8 reps/set)
Shoulder press (barbell) ??? 3 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Abs ??? 3 sets of exercises of choice

DAY 2 - SUNDAY: UPPER BODY
Bench press (flat/bar) ??? 3 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Bench press (incline/bar) ??? 2 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Lat pull downs (wide grip) ??? 2 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Lat pull downs (close grip) ??? 2 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Barbell rows ??? 4 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Dips ??? 3 sets (8-10 reps/set)
Twisting curls ??? 1 set (8-10 reps/set)
MONDAY: OFF
TUESDAY: SAME AS DAY 1 (LOWER BODY / SHOULDERS)
WEDNESDAY: OFF
THURSDAY: SAME AS DAY 2 (UPPER BODY)
FRIDAY: OFF

Basically, I've eliminated all isolation exercises and increased the amount of compound exercises. I will be training each muscle group twice a week. I'm planning on going heavy and eating right. I'm planning to use this program for about 3-4 months before changing it up again. Can some of you comment on the above program and let me know if I should tweak anything? Thanks in advance for your help!

That is alot of work in one weeks time. Without changing much, perhaps:
Week 1:
Day 1: Lower Body/shoulders
Day 2: off
Day 3: Upper Body
Day 4: off
Day 5: Lower body/shoulders
Day 6 and 7: off

Week 2:
Day 1: Upper Body
Day 2: off
Day 3: Lower Body/shoulders
Day 4: off
Day 5: Upper Body
Day 6 and 7: off

Repeat.

Also, if left as is the incline press tends to hit the anterior head (delts) hard and doing them after your shoulder day may lead to overtraining. I would consider swapping them out with decline DB press or flat DB press.

Doing three sets of heavy deads AFTER squats and hang clean and squats is...scary.

You may want to focus on going heavy to start on say squats and then lighter work on deads or something. Then flip flop the next workout.

I'd also get rid of the 2nd latpulldown there. Again, alternate every other upper workout...go wide first, narrow second, etc.

Repeat.

this is a good idea, each muscle group done every 4 days, the way your doing it i thikn you'll burn out, either that or you aren't training hard enough

i'd get rid of both lat pull downs and put 3 sets of pull ups in instead?

I appreciate everyone's input. With your advice I was able to put together a program that I'm happy with and excited to start kick into action in the next few days.
