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 ****
