depends on the rep/set range and other variables not listed. like movements and such.

the split will work but you may wanna make sure you got 72 hours between legs and back. traps is normally on back day as well in my eyes.
 
try doing legs atleast 3 days b4 back i made that mistake ONCE... otherwise i cant give you anymore advice cuz i dont know your exercises and sets and reps etc
 
I have a simliar routine. Are you doing biceps before back? I prefer to do back first and biceps at the end. I also split shoulders to another day, but in general your routine looks ok.
 
whats the big deal with makin sure back and legs are 72 hours apart? i don't understand that. thanks

assuming you do deadlifts on back day and squats on leg day, both of these exercises put alot of stress on the lower back, hams, and glutes. so if you do legs on monday, chances are your low back, hams, and glutes will be sore for a day or so, if you do back tues. or wed. this soreness will interfere with getting a good workout. also you can overtrain and stagnate your progress.

You can have trouble with squats and deads in the same day, but you won't necessarily. When I was doing HST, I did squats and deads in the same day, 3 days a week without any problems. It depends on what you can handle.
 
i always did back on tues which did include deads and then legs on thurs. i'm usually just a little sore, but i thought i was being a pussy and just tried to over look it. guess i'll have to seperate the two workouts a little more.
