Upper / Lower Body Soreness

Ok, so I started a new program this week. At the time of writing this, I've done two Upper Body days and one Lower Body day... The thing is, I'm still a bit sore from the Lower Body day. However, I didn't feel any soreness from either of the Upper Body days. Do you think my Upper Body workout is not intense enough?

Can you think of any remedies / fixes to my workout in general? Much appreciated.


Here is my lifting routine (done in the form ABxABxx, e.g. Upper on Monday and Thursday, Lower on Tuesday and Friday):


UPPER:

* Bench Press
* Seated Row
* Pec-Fly
* Pulldown
* Military Press
* Lateral Raise
* Triceps Extension
* Curl
* Shrug


LOWER:

* Squat
* Stiff-Leg Deadlift
* Lunge
* Seated Leg Curl
* Calf Raise
* Decline Sit-Up
* Hanging Leg/Hip Raise
* Side Bend


What do you guys think?
 
My upper body never gets as sore as my lower. Depends on a lot of factors, but in the end I'd not judge your routine by soreness.
 
Just as a follow-up, I did legs yesterday expecting to be hella sore (like after the last leg workout)... I did it at an even higher intensity than before, and there's barely any soreness at all.


I suppose it was just doing some of those lifts really for the first time (squats and deadlifts I had never really done before).

That's why it's called Delayed Onset Muscles Soreness or DOMS.......Usually gets me 2 days after a workout
