I started heavy lifting about 3 months ago, though I only have access to some machines and free weights, no barbells. I've narrowed down my routine to the following split, and I was hoping some of you could let me know if it's good enough. On B, I think I might not be getting a full body workout on those days.

Thanks!

A:
DB Bench
DB Fly
DB Curl
Leg Press (Machine)
Leg Curl (Machine)
Leg Extension (Machine)
Crunches
DB Tri Extension

B:
DB Deadlift
DB Shoulder Press
Lat Pulldown
DB Row
Tri Press (Machine)
DB Squats

    It's not a bad lifting plan. If you've been seeing progress with it, then I would keep it the same. I think a lot of people who do full bodyworkouts will start with legs, then chest and back, and finish with arms and shoulders.

    But maybe you can elaborate more on your fitness goals, as well as the amount of workouts per week (schedule), number of sets/reps you're doing, etc.?

    Goal is improve strength and fat loss. I do at least 3 a week, sometimes MWF, sometimes TRS, depending on how heavy my schoolwork is after work. I started doing 2 warmup sets + 2 working sets, but I did too heavy on the warmups and tired myself out by the working, so now I just do 1 warmup with a much lighter weight and 2 heavy(heavier, I'm sure you're heavy isn't my heavy quite yet) sets. I do 12-15 on the warmup and then try to do as many as I can on the heavy sets, aiming for at least 6-8. I don't move up to a new weight until I can get to 12-15.
