    Is this a good weight lifting routine?

    Squats*-1 Set X 8-10 reps
    Leg Extensions*-1 X 8-10 reps
    Leg Curls -1 X 8-10 reps
    Dumbbell Pullovers*-1 X 8-10 reps
    Military Press*-1 X 8-10 reps
    Seated Rows -1 X 8-10 reps
    Bench Press -1 X 8-10 reps
    Barbell Palms Out*Bicep Curls -1 X 8-10 reps
    Skull Crusher -1 X 8-10 reps
    Palms Out Pullups -1 X 8-10 reps
    Weighted Dips -1 X 8-10 reps
    Seated*Toe Raises -1 X 8-12 reps
    Crunches w/ Legs Up*-1 X 10-15 reps
    So i read about this routine on a website and they were claiming that this routine 3x/ week is better than splitting your muscles workout on 3 days.so is this better than Normal weight lifting routine where you hit your 2 muscle groups with 4 exercises on a 3 days split?

    Splitting and a lot of isolated exercises are not recommended for beginners. For them the key point is to learn proper form, get some basic strength and gain muscule mass. And one set for exercise is not enough to load your muscules. Squats is a heavy exercise so it's better to do it not from the start but somewhere in the middle of your routine.*Also there's too many impact on triceps, I would throw off Skull Crusher and Weighted Dips. So 3-4sets X 8-10 reps of multi-joint exercises + some isolation based on your weak points w. (i.e. if you have weak low back I recommend you to do*hyperextension first and then try deadlifts. but learn proper form first!) would be the best. Overally this routine is a piece of ****

    1 set is not ideal to really stimulate muscle growth, 3-5 would be better.

    I'd still consider myself a beginner and following the general idea of this routine has worked for me: (Sorry, can't post links yet, search BB for "Three day workout for mass") Overall, I feel much more worked when doing full body a few times a week compared to when I tried a split for a while.
