    Is this a good workout for me?

    I've been working out off and on for the past couple months but not too much. I have recently decided to get into an actual workout program.

    I'm 16 years old, 6'1, and about 165 pounds, so I obviously haven't been doing too much and I just want to but some muscle on me.

    I decided to choose the Rippetoe workout with some minor changes to fit my environment (I only have a bench in my room, so I can't do military presses and other things above my head) and I have added some things to use on the weekends.

    WORKOUT A
    3x5 Bench Press
    3x5 Leg Press
    1x5 Deadlift
    WORKOUT B
    3x5 Leg Press
    3x5 Sitting Military Press
    3x5 Bench Press
    WORKOUT C
    5x5 Dumbbell Curls
    3x5 Bar Curls
    3x5 Bench Press
    WORKOUT D
    5x5 Pushups
    5x5 Crunches - all sides

    Sunday:Off, maybe D
    Monday: A
    Tuesday: Off
    Wednesday: C
    Thursday: Off
    Friday: B
    Saturday: D

    I have also decided to restrict my diet to eat healthier and get more carbs and proteins - any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I'm am also considering getting protein shakes and multis.

    So what do you think?

    Hate to say it, bro, but that routine is worthless.

    -> No squats, inferior leg exercise and less frequently
    -> Chest workouts every day
    -> More bicep work than shoulder work?!
    -> Not nearly enough back work
    -> Not useful for progression at all

    There's no point even altering it to make it better. Get into a proper gym with the equipment you need and ACTUALLY do Starting Strength (the program you've outlined isn't even close to Rippetoes). As a newbie, you should NOT be designing your own routine, especially since you clearly have no knowledge of what balance is and act like a typical curlbro.
