I've been doing this lately, and find I like it, EDIT: but should i be doing anything else, changing rep or set scheme?

Pull:

12 sets of 8 reps for pullups/rows/cleans (in total)
2-3 sets of bicpes

legs

10 sets squats 8-20 reps
10 sets deads/variation of stiff, standard, and sumo

push

6 sets flat bench  variation
4 sets shoulder press variation
2-3 sets tricep extensions
2 sets side laterals

I don't count sets or reps, too much effort.

And I don't see how you could do 10 sets of squats then 10 sets of deadlifts, unless you're half-assing it.

What exactly is your goal?

Whenever I go to a 4 day split I use the pull/push/legs set up cycled  over four days.
I set it up like this:

Pull A                                               Pull B
Back Rows                                        Vertical Pulling
Vertical Pulling                                   Back Rows
Traps                                               Rear delts/upper back
Biceps                                              Hammer curl or reverse curl variation

Push A                                             Push B
Flat Press                                         Overhead or Incline Press
Incline or Overhead Press                     Flat  or decline press or dip variation
Chest Isolation                                  Shoulders Isolation
Tricep Extentions                               Tricep Extention

Lower A                                             Lower B
Deadlift Variation                                 Squat Variation
Quads                                                Single Leg Movement (lunges, single leg squats etc..)
Calves                                               Hamstrings Isolation
Low Back Isolation                                Calves
Abs                                                    Abs

I go lighter and higher reps with leg stuff... pretty gassed after this workout, not half assing it...

goal is just get most from workout...im not a competitive anything, just a lifter.  I would consider doing a deadlift comp at some point, however...

I'd put deads on a pull day to get the most of them and still do stiff legged on leg day.
