Your trainer maybe stupid, he may be smart

This is HIT. The idea is to get to total muscle failure. Needless to say, with this routine, what you give is what you get.

HIT recommends doing a 2:4 cadence, 2 seconds on the concentric phase and 4 on the eccentric movement. Also, if your trainer is spotting you, you MUST break through the pain barrier for this to be effective. HIT is about INTENSITY! Don't stop when you are "tired" or "done." Stop when you can't move the weight another inch with good form under your own volition, no matter what the pain threshold. There, hold it, statically for 5-20 seconds. Ouch, huh!

If you trainer is making you do this wily nily and just saying "go for reps, when you are tired, quit" then you won't make good gains.

Additionally, I would break up the routine so you aren't doing total body on one whole day. Have your trainer make a split twice a week that will train the whole body. No more than 2x / week is really necessary.

Lastly, I don't know if squats after a deadlift is a good idea. Your lower back might be compromised if your form isn't 100%, and your legs are already fatigued from deadlifting, and you won't be able to lift maximally on the squat. I do squat first on one day, and deadlift first on another day. They are both heavy lifts that require 100% concentration, and 100% effort to get maximum results.
