Help to optimize my push, pull, legs, upper, lower

Hello :-)

I have sat and spent some time doing a push, pull, legs, upper, lower split. I train 5 days a week and my goal is maximal hypotrophy.
I thought my push, pull, legs days were really nice. and don't really want to change them. But I have a little doubt about my "upper" day.
I train the following on this day:

3 sets of Inceline chest press plate loaded
3 sets of chest supported bent over row
3 sets of pec deck planes
3 sets of Latt pulldown
3 sets of DB overhead press
3 sets of pec dec reverse fly
3 sets of preacher curl (machine)
3 sets of Triceps cable extension

Does it even make sense to do these exercises in my upper day? Is there anything you would change?

I can also just attach pictures of my Push, pull, legs days.

I like the idea of push pull legs upper lower.
looks good to me mabe add a set or 2 over time. I prefer more volume myself 20 sets a week, everyone's different.
 
I’d reccomend

Pull
Push
Legs
Off
Upper
Lower

if your doing any hip hinges on leg days (GMs, RDLs, sldl). Gives the back a little rest

Also your upper day looks pretty good, except 9 exercises would drive me crazy, I’d pick a few more “big hitters”

Incline hammer press..3-4 sets
DB “muscled” clean and press….3-4 sets
Dips or CGBP rest paused.
Chest supported row 3-4 sets
Supinated pull-downs 3-4 sets

Arms should get plenty of work without the need for more isolation. Maybe one bicep movement if your gonna have anxiety about it

I already do Pull, Push, legs, rest, upper, lower, rest, repeat :-)

thanks for the feedback.
 
Are you making progress with your routine? If so continue with it. There is always time to change things once progress stalls for some time.
