It looks good but it depends on what you want to accomplish because your reps are really high. Let me ask you what do you want to accomplish?

Well I'm just trying to get a little bigger and stronger I supose, I did use to do more reps before, but I use to only workout my arms pretty much. I am 6 foot and really skinny so I figured I would try build some more muscle.

Well if you want to get bigger and you are really skinny I would be also making sure I have the proper nutrition everyday(ask me if you don't know). Well I think your reps are way to high like 15 reps for military press, I only do 7 reps but with heavy weights. I would start all your reps out at 7 then when you work that body part again switch it to 8, then next day 9, until you reach 10. Once you reach 10 add more weight if your comfortable with it then go back to doing 7 reps and so on. Make sure you are eating the proper number of calories, protein, and carbs a day so that you can see gains and get bigger.
Anyother questions?

This workout is fine if you are cutting.

But if you wanna bulk, stick with the big three and heavy compound exercises about 1 set per muscle group about 5-6 reps about 2-3 times a week.

What is your goal? Getting bigger I assume. So you should stick with 4x6 or 5x5. you simply use same weight and if you are able to complete each of the following such as 4x6 or 5x5 for an exercies then add 5 pounds for that exercise the next week.

You should look forward to something like this

Monday:
Deadlift
Rows
chins,

Your back and bi-cep will be greatly be targeted and as well as your glutes and your hams and calves if you work hard enough

Wed:
flat bench press
Military press
dips

Your shoulders,chest and tri-ceps will all be hit and your tri's at end of your workout should be exausted

Fri:
Squats
Stiff leg dead lift
calves(if seriously lagging)

If your energry feels depleted from squats that is fine, your calves will be work if you work hard enough on squats.

There everything is covered. Easy and simple.

No, don't get that misconception. Doing less is more sucess. You work hard during the day of your workout, sleep as much as possible and every meal is just like working out, eat until your full and rest until you feel recuperated, and as well don't get that misconception that just because sore is completely gone your muscles are recovered, listen to your body, if you don't feel ready take that day off and workout tommorow. But doing that routine correctly I will guarantee that you should be so sore you wouldn't want to workout the next day or 2.

Alot of begginers, feel like there undertraining with good split that consists of 2-3 day split and ends up adding isolation exercises and extra reps or sets and extra days to workout and within the year they will find themselves overtraining and with no gains and strength
