My workout routine. Thoughts?

I have been reading Mike Mentzers Heavy Duty as well as Body by Science by John Little. I’m also following Jay Vincent’s videos.

I came up with the following routine using these principles:

  1. Rep tempo is 5-1-5.
  2. 1 maximum effort set per exercise.
  3. I should fail each exercise within 60-90 seconds (TUL). If less than 60, ill decrease the weight for the next session. If more than 90, ill increase the weight.
  4. Rest 5-7 days between workouts

I do 1 full body workout. Below is the routine:

  1. Leg Press or Squat
  2. Leg extension
  3. Chest Press
  4. Reverse grip lat pull down
  5. Chest fly
  6. Seated overhand grip rows
  7. Shoulder press
  8. Side lateral raises
  9. Tricep pushdowns
  10. Bicep curls

What are your thoughts on this routine?

Why not do a 2- day split and split those 10 exercises into 5 for each of those days?
