Default Re: Is this a decent workout routine?

I kinda skimmed, and I'm a goofball. And whatever gets you to the gym is a good thing.

It strikes me that it is a weird collection of exercise pairings-- most of them are unrelated pairings and yet they are in the same style (lunge+press). (Only) One pairing is along the lines of the classic agonist/antagonist. And the other, the overload style pairing of rows and deadlifts is a strange/questionable choice (Outside of crossfit, you don't see deads paired like that). Anyway, I'd like to talk to the designer there. I feel like there might be some philosophical thing I'm missing. And I'm not quite sure, but there seems to be a typo in the last phase's B workout.

In any case, I'm not an expert. And I bet if you stick to that program for 12 weeks you'll have done a good thing.

edit: Another thing about the dead/row pairing is that it isn't gonna work with sets across.
