Considering your exercise choices and that the program is balanced, you can’t really go wrong. I used upper-lower in the past a lot.

Redundant. Drop one or the other or replace one with a movement training the pecs in the lengthened position.

The rest isn’t horrible but there’s just way too many exercises listed. It’s like you’re afraid that you’re going to “lose” something if you don’t hit it directly. That’s not how it all works.

Narrow it back down to five movements per session. Four on lower body days.
