here is a workout routine i found on the internet. it is supposed to be geared towards hypertrophy. i was just wondering if its any good or not. i've never really trained with this kind of set and rep scheme before. i usually go with more of a power routine with higher sets and lower reps.
Day 1:
-
Barbell Curls: 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Incline DB Bench Press: 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Preacher Machine: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Chest Fly Machine: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Seated Cable Row: 3 sets, 12 reps
Parallel Grip Bench Press Machine: 3 sets, 12 reps
Abs: 3 sets Cardio: 15 min
Day 2:
-
Leg Extension: 2 sets 6-8 reps
Foot Up Squats (Smith Machine): 2 sets 6-8 reps
Leg Press: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Leg Curls: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Romanian Deadlifts (wide grip): 3 sets 12 reps
Calves: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6) Cardio: 15 min
Day 3:
-
Overhead DB Press: 3 sets, 6-8 reps
Side Raises: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6) Cycle Sprints, 15 minutes: 1:30 slow (80RPM), 0:30 all out (150RPM) and repeat
Day 4:
-
Skull Crushers: 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Wide Grip Front Pulldowns: 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Triceps Pressdowns: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Hammer Row Machine: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Hammer Bench Press: 3 sets, 12 reps
One Arm DB Curls: 3 sets, 12 reps
Abs: 3 sets Cardio: 15 min
Day 5:
-
Dumbbell Deadlifts: 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Squats (wide stance (PL style i guess)): 2 sets, 6-8 reps
Leg Curls (upright): 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Leg Extension: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)
Front Squats: 3 sets, 12 reps
Calves: 3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6) Cardio: 15 min
i'm also wondering what exactly are "3 sets of triple drops (6,6,6)". the 2 rest days are going to be placed whenever i can fit them.
thanks in advance
EDIT: btw, this was copy & pasted, so it looks kinda weird and spaced out, sorry.

M-Bis/Chest/Some back
T-Quads/Hams/back-again/calves
W-Shoulders
Th-Tris/Bis-again
F- Quads-again/Hams-again
Its just a goofy split. I dont understand the proirity given to certain muscle groups. Five straight days of training isnt optimal, especially if youre a begginer.

i'm not a beginner, i've been training for probably 3 or 4 years now. and i did the day 1 workout yesterday, and i didn't find it all that great. my bi's felt like they got all the work and nothing else was really worked hard.

by the way, heres the link to the website i got it from in case anyone is interested in it for some reason. its geared toward football and has different phases throughout the year 9strength, hypertrophy, recovery, etc.)
