The holy trinity once a week;- Bench, Squats & dead lifts.. [I do tag on some dips & calf raises as well as a BB 24/7 daily but that does not apply to your question]

I have no idea *chuckle*. A guy came up to me in my math class and asked if I wanted to go to the gym with him and he gave me that list. There's a group of us who are doing it now. I'm very new to this, any advice would be appreciated (good or bad). He said it was as close to something he use to do as he could remember. Called it "blood and sands"? Anyone have info about it?

It's called the Spartacus Workout. It was published in a 2010 issue of Men's Health magazine. It's widely popular as a workout people use to get cut and preserve lean mass while building functional fitness. It's meant to be done in timed set format. 60 seconds work, 15 seconds rest, go through the whole circuit 3 times with a 2 min break in between each circuit.

The curls are an addition though. They should really be split jumps.

Ahh, dumbbell shoulder impingements. Great exercise.

Thought THAT one had been "outlawed"?

I would replace with bent-over row - barbell or dumbbell single arm. Not quite the same exercise but a good back exercise and safer.
