Looks alright. I'd like to see the high day a bit higher in calories though - even carbs if you can push it.



Upper 2
Lat Pulls: 4x6
incline chest press: 4x6
Shoulder Press: 3x10
Cable rows: 3x10
Bicep curls 3x10

I'd probably swap the Incline Chest Press and Shoulder Press here.



Lower 1
Deadlift 4x6
single leg curl 3x10
leg press 3x10
step ups 3x12

Lower 2
Squat 4x6
straight leg deadlift 3x10
seated hamstring curl 3x10
split squat 3x12

You can get away with less volume here if you want. But it's not bad.



Training and Nurtition Schedule
Mon: Upper1+25min SS - High
Tues: Lower1+25min Intervals - Medium
Wed: Off - Low
Thurs: Upper 2+25min SS - Medium
Friday: Lower2+25min Intervals - High
Sat: Off - Low
Sun: Off- Low

I'd do SS on Off/Low days and Intervals on High days - which means putting leg training on High days as well.

I don't see you needing to do cardio 6x/week to be honest. You could cut out the short SS sessions on your medium days and I bet you'll be just fine.
