3 out of 10? not enough squat or bench and no deads like you said.

Is that all one workout for one day? I would be there 4-5hrs with all those sets and reps. I think it was either Ronnie Coleman or George Bush that once said, "Everybody wants big muscles but nobody wants to lift heavy weights."

I would cut back some of those sets and up the weight. Leg curls and ext are pointless for full body workouts. No deads. Please. This is a joke right.

It looks like a HIT type exercise, 1 set for each exercise. This type of routine is quite common. Not terribly effective, but simple to do. Most beginners start off on a program like this when they first go to a gym. You can get in and out quite quickly and you don't tie up equipment. It's interesting that it has a combination of machines and free weights. Usually people are usually directed to one or the other. I would suggest that instead of weighted pullups and weighted dips they should have included assisted pullups and assisted dips since most people doing this type of program wouldn't be strong enough to do the weighted versions.
