[Los_Diablo]

Asking for a buddy

Lifting three times a week on monday, wednesday, and friday alternating between the two workouts below

WORKOUT #1
*Squat
*Pull
*Bent Row
*Bench Press
*Stiff Leg Deadlift

WORKOUT #2
*Military Press
*Straight Bar Curl
*Lying Triceps Extension
*Upright Row
*Standing Calf Raise

Wants to know if the set up is any good and how many sets of each lift he should perform.

Trying to get as many opinions on this for him as I can

I would do more of an upper and lower routine.  Put compound upper body exercises on one day and the squats and deadlifts, etc on the other.

Agreed. I'm never too keen on mixing a big movement like the squat in with upper body.

Yep.  Too much on Workout A. 

You could also do Push/Pull.
Day 1 - Squat, Bench, Military Press, Triceps Extension, Calves.
Day 2 - Deadlift, Bentover Row, Barbell Curl, Shrugs.

For a beginer?  This isn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but i would suggest something like what's in Rippetoe's Starting Strength:

Mon
Squat 5x5
Bench 5x5
Clean 5x5

Weds
squat 5x5
Press 5x5
Deadlift 1x5

Friday
Squat
Bench 5x5
clean 5x5

Mon
Squat 5x5
press 5x5
deadlift 1x5

And so on.  If you don't like cleans, put rows in one day, chins on the other.

That's it.  If you absolutely must, add in 15 minutes at the end to train abs, low back, calves, traps, arms, whatever.

Good plan to have him workout two or three times a week.

Using a basic protocol.

WORKOUT #1
*Squat/Every other workout front squats (NO BELT on squats or front squats, it will help build the abs)
*Pull
*Bent Row
*Bench Press
*Stiff Leg Deadlift

WORKOUT #2
*Military Press Seated DB shoulder press (to get the shoulders to stabilize/ could be alternated with military presses every other workout)
*Straight Bar Curl DB curls or EZ bar curls (to prevent elbow or wrist problems)
*Lying Triceps Extension Close grip benchpresses, shoulder width, or just slightly wider
*Upright Row
*Standing Calf Raise Ditch this
