Trying out a full body routine as I have lots of time to workout in the summer with school ending (20M), and I am looking to gain as much strength as possible.
Weight:180lbs, plan on eating 2100-2200 cals which is maintenance for me a day
Squat: 285
Deadlift: 295
Bench: 210
OHP: 135
Workout A
Squat 3/5×4-6
Pause Bench 3/5×4-6
Pendlay Row 3/5×4-6
Overhead Barbell Extension 3×6-10
Barbell/Dumbbell Preacher Curl 3×6-10
Stiff-Legged Deadlift2-3×6-10
Weighted Plank 3×30-60s
Workout B
Squat 3/5×4-6
Paused Overhead Press 3/5×4-6
Trap-Bar Deadlift 2×4-6
Close-Grip Bench Press 3×6-8
Weighted Chin-up 3×3-5
Weighted Plank 3×30-60s
The routine is MWF and follows the order of A,B,A,OFF,OFF,B,A,B,OFF,OFF.....
I really like this because it has more volume than a SS or an SL 5x5, and still has linear progression as a priority
The routine is Alpha Destiny Novice Program

Novices/early intermediates don't need pause reps. Your whole bench/press are weak enough that you don't need to work on "weak points", as your whole press/bench is weak and you need to train the whole motion. I would also just do the deadlift instead of trap bar deadlift. Trap bar deadlift turns the movement into way more quad dominant and has a lot less carryover. It is a lot easier and is meant more for performance in athletes rather than bodybuilding. So, if your goal is sports performance (like basketball/football), then the trap bar deadlift would be a better choice. Also, would do rdl instead of stiff leg deadlift. Give it a run and see where you turn up.
