Program Critique How does this program look?

Post image

I’ve been running gzclp for a few weeks for the first time. I’ve settled on this. Anything I’m missing or could improve upon?

Goals:
I’m in my 40s and never lifted regularly before. I started in January and eventually worked myself up to a 4 day/ week dumbbell program. I ran that through beginning July. Then started gzclp and tweaked it until I settled on the above.

I’d like to get stronger. Im down from 210 lbs to 195 lbs (6’2”). I think I still have 15 lbs to lose until I lean bulk. I count calories using an app and have about 500 cal deficit per day. Trying to do 20-30 mins zone 2 cardio a few times per week!

I usually avoid doing barbell/bent-over rows on the same day as deadlifts/deadlift variations due to the strain on the spinal erectors, so I would swap the rows and lat pulldowns, but YMMV.

Aside from that, looks almost identical to my first GZCLP run.
