I'm making a new workout plan and wanted to get some people's opinions. It'll be split up into upper body/lower body 4 days/week for 50-60mins and was wanting to squeeze the most out of the workouts as far as hypertrophy and strength.

Upper Body:

1.Bench Press (smith machine because I will be working out alone)
2.Lat Pulldown
3.Seated Rows
4.DB Hammer Curls
5.Skullcrushers
6.Tricep Cable Pulldown

Lower Body:

1.Back Squat/Deadlift
2.Back Squat/Deadlift (whichever one isn't chosen first)
3.Hack Squat
4. Leg Exstensions
5. Leg Curls
6. Standing Calf Raises
7. Sitting Calf Raises

If there are exercises I should switch out or better ones, let me know.

Not a fan of the smith machine personally but that's up to you, I would suggest a shoulder press of some sort.

Okay. I don't either, but the gym I go only has two places to bench safely smith machine or squat rack.

Should I do overhead press after bench press or before?

If you were going to do it on the same day then after, you could also vary your workouts i.e. one day subbing in OHP instead of bench as the main lift.

I'll do that and same thing with lower body days.
