Not good at all because you're training like a bodybuilder and your not a bodybuilder.
Search waterbury method by chad waterbury
I also like the rippetoe method. |

Well if it's a bodybuilder's like routine I'm gonna stick with it lol. That Christopheel gave me a routine let me show you:
DAY 1:
Deadlifts
Lunges
Bent Over Standing Rows
Push Ups
Shrugs
DAY 2: HIIT
DAY 3:
Sumo Stance Deadlifts
One Leg Squats
Lunges
One Arm Row
Push Ups
DAY 4: OFF
DAY 5:
Stiffed Legs Deadlifts
Lunges
Overhead Shoulder Presses
Push Ups
Concentration Curls
DAY 6: HIIT
DAY 7: OFF
Is that any good? I think not, doesn't work much biceps, works a lot of legs for no reason too. |

I would do BB Bench instead of pushups.
Cut out concentration curls or do preacher ones.
I think you're doing too many deadlift variations but thats just me, wait for some other people to post to make a decision. |

Dumbbell Bench instead of Barbell. If the Pectorals and synergists / stabilisers like Arms, Delts, Lats, Traps, Rhomboids etc etc, work to lift a Dumbbell, there's equal workload in a sense.
Barbell Bench could possibly cause one side of the body, to become more reliant on the other side, making that side lazier and less progressive, and then you might get decreased growth potential on one side.
Not good.
I thihk also, you might be Deadlifting a bit too much. Also, slight changes in Deadlift technqiue each time, won't necessarily change much.
You could be working certain areas a little more one time, than another, depending on the Deadlift type, but ultimately you could well be overdoing it on the main areas, like Lower Back and possibly Legs, etc etc.
I'd take out the day 3 one personally, and do the Day 1 and 5 ones.
If you were to do Preachers, you could use a Cable and do them two handed.
Or go for a straightforward E-Z Bar, or possibly better yet, E-Z Bar Reverse Curls. I see those as a good choice, because it's using a Pronated Grip, you should get some good Forearm interaction too.
Concentrations can tend to isolate Bicep, and not give Forearm as much attention as it could get. |

- the less bicep work and the more leg work the better...look at the wt you can curl vs the wt you can (or should be able to) deadlift and tell me which one one will get you bigger
- i'd go for something like this:
workout 1
deadlifts / db row / bench press / static lunges / lockouts
workout 2
chin ups / stiff leg deadlifts / seated row / stand shoulder press / face pull
workout 3
front squat / bent row / reverse lunges / db incline press / inverted rows
somwething like that with a sprint day the day after workout 3 for some extra anabolic response
1st exercise of each day do 10 x 3 by themselves, 1mion btw sets
2nd and 3rd exercises alternate sets of for 5 x 5, 1min btw sets
exercises 4 and 5 alternate for 3 x 12, 1min btw sets |

juast read one of your other threads and came back to thid...
you have no business lifting any wts, even light one's if you can't do 20 perfect push ups, 20 perfect inverted rows and 20 perfect lunges on each leg
until you can do them nothing will happen... |
