If your goal is a mix of strength and hypertrophy then yes it's a very solid routine, especially coming from Brandon Campbell who knows his stuff.

In before Layne files a lawsuit.

Heavy compounds for a few sets in the 3-5 range followed by some assist. exercises for higher reps. Each muscle gets hit twice a week. Nothing new here routines like this have been around for years but someone gave it a name. Good routine.
