Is the MyProtein advanced PPL routine good?

[CristalGear]

Hi. I have done a bro split routine for the last year and made some progress, but this progress is stagnating. Therefore, I'm about to start a PPL routine and I'm trying to find a good one to start with. I personally have no experience with PPL routines, so I have a hard time assessing the quality of them. Therefore this post.

I found the routine of Coolcicada on this forum, but I think a routine that has different exercises on push day 1 than it has on push day 2, for example, might be beneficial.

Thats why I'm looking into the advanced PPL routine of MyProtein.com. Mind that the push and pull days are reversed:
Pull 1
Deadlifts 1st: 3-5 reps 2nd: 6-8 reps
Underhand Pulldowns 2 x 8-12 reps
Dumbbell One Rows 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 12-15 reps
Pendlay Rows 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 12-15 reps
Skull Crushers 3 x 8-12 reps
Rope Hammer Curls 2 x 12-15 reps

Push 1
Incline Bench Press 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 8-12 reps
Flat Dumbbell Press 2 x 8-12 reps
Wide-Grip Dips 3 (Bodyweight > failure)
Dumbbell Shoulder Press 2 x 8-12 reps
Arnold Press 2 x 12-15 reps
Skull Crushers 3 x 8-12 reps
Underhand Pushdowns 2 x 12-15 reps

Legs 1
Front Squats 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 12-15 reps
Feet Low & Close Leg Press 2 x 15-20 reps
Stiff-legged deadlifts 6-8reps > 8-12 reps
Glute Ham raises Bodyweight > Failure
Walking lunges 2 x 20 each leg

Pull 2
Bent Over Rows 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 8-12 reps
T-Bar Row 2 x 6-8 reps
Close Grip Chin-ups 3 (Bodyweight > failure)
Rack Deadlifts 1st: 3-5 reps 2nd: 6-8 reps
Barbell Curls 3 x 8-12 reps
Reverse Grip Cable Curls 2 x 12-15 reps

Push 2
Decline Bench Press 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 8-12 reps
Incline Dumbbell Press 2 x 8-12 reps
Flat Machine Press 2 x 10-12 reps
Seated Smith Machine Shoulder Press 2 x 8-12 reps
Wide-Grip Upright Rows 2 x 12-15 reps
Close-Grip Bench Press 2 x 6-8 reps
Overhead Rope Extensions 3 x 12-15 reps

Legs 2
Squats 1st: 6-8 reps 2nd: 8-12 reps
Lying Leg Curls 2 x 12-15 reps
Hack Squats 2 x 15-20 reps
Smith Machine Front Squats 2 x 15-20 reps

What do you think of this routine? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Im personally also doubting about the number of sets per exercise. I personally tend to find them quiete low, because I'm mostly used to 4x10 and 12-10-8-6.

What is your training experience?

Few thoughts. Why skullcrushers on Pull 1? You may want to alternate horizontal and vertical pull exercises when they are bunched together (rather than one vertical then two horizontal), but not necessary if not your preference. Do you have a rest day between Legs 1 & Pull 2? You're doing DL variations 2 days in a row.

I do serious weight training for slightly more than one year now. However, the majority of that time (in hindsight too long) I worked with the same routine (bro split).

Yes, I planned to perform this routine like this: P1P1L1-P2P2L2-Rest. But now that you say this, it might be wiser to do it like this: P1P1L1-Rest-P2P2L2. This removes the double deadlift problem, so this might be better?

Could you by the way give an example of horizontal and vertical pull exercises you would alternate? Thanks

Sure, but you should consider if an advanced PPL routine (even if you make adjustments to the one above) is the right routine for you to switch to right now.

I just meant if you're going to do row-row-pulldown or row-row-chinup, you could try row-pulldown-row or row-chinup-row. You don't have to switch it up if you don't want to. Plus you may want to start w/ the heavier row... I would think pendlay before one arm db, but don't know what you're lifting. My horizontal/vertical pull comment was separate from the skullcrusher comment.

So you've only just begun serious training. What's your height and weight and how much weight have you gained in that year? What were your starting squat/bench and what are they now?
