    For dropping some kg while eating at a cal deficit, sure. For gaining muscle, not really.

    You are doing a 4 day split, training a muscle group once a week.

    Criticize?
    - well, it's just not optimal working a muscle only once a week
    - I don't understand that fetish for supersetting the same muscle group many times
    - I assume chest day comes right after deltoid day, not a great idea, imo, especially if you are doing front delt work on day 1
    - the order of the exercises

    Will you have success with it? Possible, yeah! Most jacked people at the gyms followed a split routine their entire life. Some even made progress with bad ones. But it's not optimal.
    I like to learn from the mistakes of the people who take my advice.
