Hello everyone, I used to work out regularly when I was young but had to take a break due to work reasons, but now I am looking to get back into it. My goal is to get stronger. How is my workout routine? My rationale for picking the exercises is mostly based off what I like to do and what feels good to me. Is there anything big missing or anything unnecessary?
Monday: Chest and Triceps
3 x Bench Press (6-10 reps)
3 x Dumbbell Fly (6-10 reps)
3 x Overhead Triceps Extensions (6-10 reps)
3 x Triceps Rope Pushdown (6-10 reps)
Wednesday: Back and Biceps
3 x Deadlift (6-10 reps)
3 x Dumbbell Row (6-10 reps)
3 x Lat Pull Down (6-10 reps)
3 x Standing Dumbbell Curl (6-10 reps)
Friday: Legs and Shoulders
3 x Squats (6-10 reps)
3 x Dumbbell Shoulder Press (6-10 reps)
3 x Leg Extensions (6-10 reps)
3 x Leg Curl (6-10 reps)

It's far from "optimal" but it's definitely not a terrible routine for general fitness. As a strength routine, it's not great though. Your reps are too high and you don't mention a progression plan. You could remedy this by running your squat, bench, and pull on a 5/3/1 template progression.

"225, 315, 405 whatever. Yeah these benchmark digits come to mean a lot to us, the few warriors in this arena. They are, however, just numbers. I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel
