What's a good UB equivalent to Legs & Glutes?

Anyone care to comment on this rotation? I want to do the Pyramids, but I also want to do Legs & Glutes. So I was thinking on LB days I could alternate doing PLB with L&G. But then that made me want to have an UB workout to alternate with PUB. So I was thinking, maybe, doing the UB split from ME? or the UB split from Push/Pull? I don't know. Something sorta endurance-based, like L&G is endurance-based for LB....NOT CTX or PS or S&H. Does anyone have any suggestion of an UB workout that's sorta L&G-like?

Anyway, I'm thinking of doing it like a BFL rotation:
Week 1
PUB
Cardio
PLB
Cardio
??UB
Cardio
Rest

Week 2
L&G
Cardio
PUB
Cardio
PLB
Cardio
Rest

Week 3
??UB
Cardio
L&G
Cardio
PUB
Cardio
Rest

Week 4
PLB
Cardio
??UB
Cardio
L&G
Cardio
Rest

I'm also thinking that one of the week's cardios will be kickbox, one will be intervals, and one will be regular old step or high/low. Also plan on doing abs/core work on each UB day.

THanks for any feedback,

I think the UB split from ME is good. Also the Supersets UB. I don't think the push-pull is endurance, more strength. And for an oldie, Body Max UB section hits everything in about 24 minutes, moving very quickly.

I know you said not CTX. But have you tried CTX Upper Body? It really challenges your entire upper body. The upper body section in Body Max also provides an excellent endurance challenge.
 
Thanks you guys for your advice. I settled on the following 7-day rotation:
Day 1--L&G
Day 2--IMAX2
Day 3--PUB
Day 4--KP&C
Day 5--PLB
Day 6--Step Blast, Rhythmic Step, or other steady-state cardio
Day 7--Cardio & Lower Body Premix from Bootcamp OR Power Circuit Cardio/Leg Circuits, + Upper Body Split & Abs from Muscle Endurance
Day 8--REST

So today I did IMAX2. I'm going to try to run thru this rotation at least 4 times to see what kind of results I get from it. Coupled with good clean eating, I'm expecting good things to happen!:)

Judy, it's 35 min. which includes the warmup & abs.

Hi Deb ! This is very similar to what some folks are talking about in the video forum. Folks have gotten great lower body results.

I'm doing something VERY similar however I do SJC (love that) for a cardio and do 1 7 (with a rest day) rotation.

Hopefully we will be posting here.. the smaller lower body rotation
