Not much in the way of back exercises or compounds in there. Why no squats, chins, or rows?

So should I replace the pullovers with the curled barbell rows? And then change the lunges to deadlifts?

I'm still practicing at chin ups and pull ups. I can't even do one yet. Once I get stronger I'll just start doing them. But I'm still practicing them!!! Just need more strength.

No but seriously, you should listen to evo. WSFSB is an awesome beginner's template. Joe does all the heavy figuring for you, and it's got tons of variety built right in. Don't be put off by the name.

Meh, read through it, seems confusing. I don't know. But like what's bad about my routine now? Now trying to argue the fact, you guys know a lot more than me about this stuff just wondering. Does it matter or?

And as for the pull ups. I just did 3 was my max, maybe I can do 4. But I was thinking everyday I'm just going to start doing 4 sets of 2-3 pull ups. I already feel better at them.

What's confusing? Have you tried just skipping to the workout templates? He says exactly what to do, and in what order. The only confusion I could see is not knowing what some of the exercises are, or which to pick. Or what the term "work up to" means, which he explains at the end of his rambling, right before said templates.

But yeah, it matters. 2-3 Pull-ups is fine, but volume is important, so it's good that you realize you need to do at least 4 sets. But you probably shouldn't be doing that every time, as it falls into a max effort range. I would do 6 or 7 at that rep range, but only once a week. You could do assisted pull-ups or lat pulldowns on your other upper body day, if you have either of those pieces of equipment available (for some higher rep work). Or you could follow WSFSB.

Basically, what you've got now is poorly balanced, and too heavy. It looks like some sort of weird hybrid between an upper/lower split and a full body routine. If you don't want to try WSFSB, check out the stickies on putting together your own program. There's a lot of information there.
