Critique this Routine (reps)

Routine for compound lift progression. 3 days a week. Alternating weeks.

currently 183 lbs, at about 10 % bf

*week 1*

M Lower(1)
T Cardio (15 min HIIT) elliptical
W Upper
Th Cardio (15 min HIIT) elliptical
F Lower(2)
S OFF
S OFF

*week 2*

M Upper
T Cardio
W Lower(1)
Th Cardio
F Upper
S OFF
S OFF
*repeat from week 1*

The plan is to progress on basic compound lifts with upper/lower body. I want to divide Lower days into two workouts though, Lower(1)= deadlifts/leg press, Lower(2)= Light Straight leg Deadlifts / Squats. This way I won't be squatting/deadlifting hard on the same day and quads/back still trained both days.

Upper-

BB Bench: 3 sets
BB Bent-Over Rows: 3 sets
Seated Military Press: 2 sets (higher rep range)
DB Lat Raise: 2 sets (higher rep range)
Close Grip BB Bench: 2 sets
Preacher Curls: 2 sets

Lower(1)-

Deadlifts: 3 sets
Leg Press: 3 sets
Leg Curls: 2 sets
Glute Ham Raise 2 sets
Calf Raises: 3 sets

Lower(2)-

Squats: 3 sets
(light) Straight Leg Deadlifts: 3 sets
Leg Curls: 2 sets
Calf Raises: 3 sets

Here are my suggestions:
1) for HIIT - skip the elliptical and run sprints
2) What is your Set/Rep/Rest/Tempo scheme? IMO you could perform a 5 x 5 with 120-180 second rest periods and a 3-1-X tempo (1st number = Lowering in seconds, 2nd number = pause at the bottom in seconds & 3rd number = Raising(X means explosive)

OR

you could perform 4 x 6 week 1, 5 x 5 week 2, 6 x 4 week 3 & 2 x 8-10 week 4 (De-load week mwith 60 second rest intervals)

3) Why (LIGHT) straight Leg Deadlifts? Go Heavy!!!!

Cool, thanks for the critique!

I honestly haven't thought much about the tempo in my past workouts. It seems like a useful tool to add another element into training.

Ill give this a go, "you could perform 4 x 6 week 1, 5 x 5 week 2, 6 x 4 week 3 & 2 x 8-10 week 4 (De-load week mwith 60 second rest intervals)".

What rep/set scheme would you use on a de-load week. I'm use to just taking a week off of lifting every month and a half or so.

Cut your Volume by at least 40% & change up your reps & rest periods.
