upper/lower routine I found

[musclehead24]

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?

I 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.

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.

My thoughts exactly. That and I can't do widegrip Pullups with my bodyweight for 10 reps anyway lol.

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.
