That looks like a ton of work for someone eating so little. There are people here who know a lot more about this than me, but if your recovery starts to suffer, eat more, and maybe add in another rest day.
Maybe people will help more if you include stats and goals.
The exercises and the variation looks good, but why always 3x50 for calves? I would switch up to 10x5, 5x10, 8x8, etc. if you were looking for volume. Also, you should probably bump up calories if you’re looking to gain mass.
Im not an expert or anything but If it was my program I would split my three big lifts (bench, squat, deadlifts) up on differn’t days. Concidering you want all of those to go up. It takes alot out of your body to do all those lifts together.
Yeah also as said before eating more then 3k cals would help you improve your results better.

Thanks for the reply.
Are you suggesting a 10x3 for 1 lift each day and not do the other 2 at all? Then do the rest as written?
I was under an impression from CW’s article that strength and size increase faster through training the muscle group multiple times a week, which is why I made it this way…but if I’m wrong, please correct me.
If you look at alot of Chads programs they do have you lifting the same muscle group a few times per week. While looking at his yours stills seems to be over doing it. His progrmas usually have him doing a big set of 10x3 of Squat then maybe a 4x6 of bench but in most (all?) of his programs he isn’t doing all of the big lift in one day. He also has more rest days in his routines. Also think he advises eating more then 3k cals.
Again Im not an expert just telling you what I would do.
