Where I see problems:

  • No exercises that target side delts like lateral raise or upright row.
  • 2 chest exercises 3-4 sets each for the whole week might not be enough.
  • Zero direct triceps exercise, if you are an arm dominant individual that might be fine, if not prepare to get noddle arms.

Is there a particular reason why youā€™re doing Bulgarian split squats as the first exercise on lower strength day (and before deadlifts at that) and doing a squat variation on hypertrophy day?

Was your previous split working for you?

I would advise not doing the BTNP in a smith machine.
