    One thing I dont like separating quads and hamstrings because you are still working your hamstrings doing your squats and doing hamstrings the day after would be senseless. Some other days in your program have too much volume for instance the arm/delt day.

    I would maybe seperate them to get more work done on arms and delts without overtraining.
