So I definitely need to make some changes to my leg day.

I do an upper lower split and have generally followed the Generic Bulk Routine routine.

In general it looks like this:

Mon & Thu
Squats 4 x 6-8
RDL 4 x 6-8
Leg Ext 3 x 10-12
Hamstring Curls 3 x 10-12
Calves

However my lower back is getting fatigued.

I dont know wether to try lowering the volume so I would do only 3 x 6-8 Squats and RDLs or try splitting my days so that one is a hamstring focused day and the other quads:

EG:

Monday:
RDL
Leg Press
Leg Curls
Calves

Thusday:
Squat
Leg Ext
Leg Curls
Calves

You shouldn't just drop an exercise you can do alternative movements. Like one day you do Bulgarian split squats and RDLS then the next time you do squats and GHR's or Nordic curls or something else to hit your posterior chain like RDL's do. Otherwise you are cutting out 2 major lower body movers from your routine each week.
