Get rid of hyper extensions and fit 'em in on back day. Despite trying extremely hard to keep your back and legs straight, it's nearly impossible, so you'll feel it the same as when doing hyperextentions. Also, since your leg days pretty packed, it fits in nicely.

You might want to consider doing a different type of routine.  if you've only been training for a few months, that routine is just a wee bit advanced.  keep in mind that muscles only need micro damage in order to stimulate growth.  Someone with little training experience is going to be able to achieve this with far less volume than what you are doing.
 
to make it more understandable.. you're trying to pour 2 gallons of water in a one gallon bucket. once it fills up, the extra is just spilling over to waste. 
 
I would suggest adding more frequency to your routine and limiting it to basic compound exercises such as Squat, Deads, Cleans, and various Presses.
The routine you're doing will generate results if you're diet is in order and if you're consistently adding weight to the bar... but the other type of routine I suggested will speed up the process. 
 
Goodluck

very true.  here's something i do that has helped out size and strenght tremendously...
 
monday (upper)
Flat Bench 4 X 6-8
Bent Over BB Rows 4 X 6-8
DB oh press (seated) 3 X 10-12
Standing BB curls 3 X 10-12
Rope Tricep Pulldown 3 X 10-12
 
tuesday (lower)
Front Squats 4 X 6-8
Deadlift 4 X 6-8 (this is just the day i've fit it in)
Lunges 3 X 10-12
Hamstring Curls 3 X 10-12
Standing BB Calf Raises 3 X 10-12
 
thursday (upper)
Incline Bench 4 X 6-8
"suspended" chin-ups 4 X 6-8 (what i mean by suspended is go all way down, hang for second then pull back up.)
Standing BB oh press 3 X 10-12
Front DB lateral Raise 3 X 10-12
Weighted Dips 3 X 10-12
 
friday (lower)
Squats 4 X 6-8
Strait-legged Deadlifts 4 X 6-8
One-legged Leg Press 3 X 10-12
Leg Press Calf Raise 3 X 10-12
Power Cleans 3 X 10-12
 
Wed i like to do some stretching and hit abs with heavy weight on the machines.
 
anyways like i said i've seen some great strength gains from this routine i'm on.  i've just started my 5th or 6th week doing this and still seeing strength gains where at about week 4 my weight gains have kind of slowed down.  i've put on about 10-15 pounds of good weight.  Try it out if you like what you see.  i got this from a guy on this site.  Havnt seen him on in a while though :(

^ that routine looks good,  I would leave wed. as a day off though, especially on 2x a week split like an upper/lower, rest days are crucial, even if you are only stretching and doing abs.  Put the core work on your back day or leg day where your core gets worked the most.   I'd drop the ham curls on tuesday, they are known to cause injuries, something like good am's would be better since you'd be doing sldl's on friday.  I would also throw in some hip/groin work to compliment the squats on the lower days.  Stretching should also be a daily routine.  +1 for the routine though
Bench- 315 Squat- 345 Dead-  515

Total- 1175
