I would suggest “another one”

Snark aside, that might be a perfectly fine program, but you’ve missed out all of the details that would make it effective or inneffective. A list of exercises and rep schemes is more or less meaningless.

What are your goals ? Strength or hypertrophy ?

To not be skinny or skinny fat

keep them in your gym bag

I did have some I’ll have to dig them out

Well my dad had some due to some shoulder injury he had

I tried to run this program beforehand re but I did dips and my shoulders would kill and I did squats twice a week every week kinda sucked

But I found one the same version on boost camp with added bicep curls and triceps

Ill run it again and this follow it alternating squats from twice a week to once a week and I can actually do chin ups now before I could do zero chin ups lol

How long can you run this program?

You CAN run it for a long time if you eat enough. 6 months is a great starting point

Lyle McDonald’s Generic Bulking Routine. It’s an Upper /Lower split and can be run on a 3 or 4 day a week schedule. You’ll like it a lot. Great program for intermediates who don’t was to be skinny or worse; “skinny fat” !

Op is not an intermediate

Alright. Great program for anyone who wants a simple program to gain some size.

Just run a sensible program that you believe in and you’ll be fine. Your plate increments are fine, no smaller ones are necessary.

For an A/B/A B/A/B rotation every two weeks you could stick to simple movements and adding 5-10 lbs on your work set every week. A 5x5 or a 3x5 rep scheme works fine.

I would make Squat/Bench/Row the priority movements for A and Deadlift/Strict Press/Pullups the priority movements for B. If you hit all six hard and keep adding weight to the bar and eating for strength you’ll become stronger and can figure out the rest as you go.

Many programs can be found with structures similar to this. @throwawayfitness linked a perfectly good one. Find one that you believe in and let it rip.
