Default Re: Is this a decent workout routine?

[ QUOTE ]

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

I'm not really sure how pairings work in the modern philosophy. This looks like it's based on HST, so the goal of each day's routine is just to hit the whole body on each day, there's no isolation days.

I'm also not really sure if there's much validity behind the idea of alternating sets like they use here. I have read some suggestions that alternating militaries and chins is somehow better than doing them separately but I have no idea if that's true.
