Beginner workout

I'm strating to lift now. I know this is sissyfied, but here's my workout. Bear in mind I'm 5'9 150lbs(little man) 20 years of age. Anything I could add to these would be helpful.

Day 1

Weighted dips 5 sets of 5 with 25lbs

Barbell bench press 5 sets of 5 with 135lbs

Regular dips 2 sets of 10

Incline bench press 2 sets of 10 with 95lbs

Day 2

Conventional deadlifts 5 sets of 5 with 195lbs

Hammer curls 5 sets of 5 with 25lbs

Dumbell shrugs 2 sets of 10 with 65lbs I think

Barbell rows 2 sets of 10 with 70lbs

Day 3

Squats 5 sets of 5 with 175lbs I think

Side raises 5 sets of 5 with 25lbs

Military press 2 sets of 10 with 95-115

Decline situps 2 sets of 10 with 45lbs

Actually a pretty good routine. Now if I had it to do all over again I would do it a little differently.

Day 1
Dumbell Bench Press-5x5
Military Press-3x6-8
Weighted Dips-2x8-12
Decline Situps-3x20

Day 2
Pullups-3x8+(add weight as needed)
Deadlift-several sets of singles
Dumbell Rows-5x5
Hanging Knee Raises

Day 3
Squat-5x5
Leg Curls-3x8
Calves-3x12-20

Thats it. That is all I would do. No I wouldnt do any isolation shit for bicep/triceps or anything. If I had to start all over again I would only hit these exercises and I would eat like a horse. Also on my off days I would be running interval sprints 3x/week. Buts that what I would do.

Running sprints 3x a week is a bit much. Start at 1x if you even plan on doing them, and build up to 2x, maybe 3x depending how your shins feel and what kind of shape you're in.

If you're just starting off I'd stay away from the 5x5 for now, and just try and build a solid muscle base.

You're starting off okay with the 3x/Week split, and eventually you'll want to make it a 4-day split. I'd suggest shooting between the 8-10 rep range, compound lifts only, as Solidj55 had said.

Train like an animal, eat like a horse, sleep like a baby...

Always remember those words.

Cool thanks I'll try both ways. For the next 2 weeks.

Pick something nice and easy for yourself. Compound movements are pretty tremendous for building strong foundations. I would go with them all the way.

I was saying i would run the sprints lol. Although I do think its a good idea as in it keeps the metabolism going and keeps some fat off and still allows to build a lot of muscle. I would recomend starting off 3 days per week with it either, I meant ultimately thats what I would do.
