Is this a good workout program for a beginner/someone that's skinny fat?

Hi,

I'm going to be busy next year as a student and I've found this 3 day/ week Full Body Routine.

The 3 Day Full Body Split

Monday: Full Body Workout
Tuesday: off
Wednesday: Full Body Workout
Thursday: off
Friday: Full Body Workout
Saturday: off
Sunday: off
The Program:

Workout A

Squats
3 sets of 8-10 reps.
2 minutes rest between sets.

Bench Press
3 sets of 8-10 reps.
2 minutes rest between sets.

Rows
3 sets of 8-10 reps.
2 minutes rest between sets.

Triceps Press Downs
1 set of 10-12 reps.

Calf Raises
1-2 sets of 10-12 reps.
1 minute rest between sets.

Workout B

Deadlifts
3 sets of 8-10 reps.
2 minutes rest between sets.

Pull-Ups (or Lat Pull-Downs)
3 sets of 8-10 reps.
2 minutes rest between sets.

Overhead Shoulder Press
3 sets of 8-10 reps.
2 minutes rest between sets.

Biceps Curls
1-2 set of 10-12 reps.

Abs
1-2 sets of 10-12 reps.
1 minute rest between sets

The program involves switching between workouts A and B every session.

Is this optimal for making gains as a beginner? Or is it lacking?

Looks good to me. Is strength at the barbell lifts a priority or is muscle building your primary concern?

It looks fine. I'd do overhead tricep extensions instead of pushdowns, 3x6-8 reps for squats, and possibly alternate RDL 3x10 and DL 3x6 on B days.

Then I’d sub deadlifts with RDLs and hip thrust on an alternating basis, and alternate between OHP and incline bench. I’d swap out squats once in a while with leg presses since they tend to build the quads better.

As you get more experience, you’ll want to add some more isolation exercises, like leg curls on deadlift/RDL/hip thrust day and leg extensions on squat/leg press days.
