Default New Routine Review

Hey guys,
I'm a new member.
I have been bodybuilding for a solid year now, before that time I almost never worked out consistently and thus received few positive results.

After my first year my upper body is in good shape, especially the chest.

Now I've reached a point where I feel most of my upper body is where I want it, yet that leaves my lower body looking somewhat thin and unproportional...most likely a common problem.

I have revised my old routine extensively to work harder new areas that I feel still need improvement, while reducing the amount of time spent on well developed areas.

I was hoping I could get some reviews and suggestions for my new routine...keep in mind that my problems areas would be gluts, thighs, hamstrings, calves, interior triceps, lingering fat around the gut..and perhaps forearms.

It may seem like a lot on paper...so to shorten it you could say lower body and inner triceps.

The routine is listed below, I would appreciate suggestions of any kind.
