    Critique this fullbody program - linear progression possible?

    Hi, I've been lifting for about a year now.
    I'm getting tired of my wide core and fat ass from doing low bar backsquats and heavy deadlifts.
    So I came up with a program that could give me linear progression in strength and hypertrophy:

    A
    3x5 Bench press
    5x3 Front squat
    3xf Pull-ups
    3x10 DB rows

    B
    3x5 Press
    3x3 Clean pull
    3x10 Hammer curl
    3x10 Facepull

    AxBxAxx
    BxAxBxx

    Thoughts on this routine?

    I think it's a bit too minimalist for significant hypertrophy gains, and I'm not too sure about long-term overall strength either.

    Sure, it's sometimes a fine line between holistic programming and fukkarounditis time, but IMO, there is room in that program for a few more lifts. But I do iike what's there to start with.

    Is there anything you would add? I don't think I need tricep isolation yet as my bench press is still pretty low.
    I forgot to add that I'm on a cut right now, that's why I didn't want to bloat the routine with too many assistance exercises.

    There's more pull than there is push: 7 to 4 in fact (almost 2:1). And an awful lot of back work, compared to everything else.

    Keep that up for too long, and you will be quite unbalanced.
