modify basic workout
Hey guys! I'm new to the whole lifting scene so I read the basic workout blog and came across a few questions:
1) can anyone recommend any alternative exercises for dead lifts and negative pull-ups?
2) my main goal is fat loss but this work-out seems so simple; is it enough?
3) when should I create my own routine?
Thanks!

Watch some videos of proper deadlift form and start with light weight you know you can handle. Just make sure your back is straight the whole time that's the big issue most have. There is really is no sub for deadlifts. Squats are great if you aren't already doing them. Builts routines are great, do that until you can have read and researched enough to come up with your own routine. Simple is good a lot of the time. Especially if you are new. I use a pretty simple routine myself. If you can't do pull ups do lat pull downs. Those are pretty much the only vertical lat movements you can do.

For fat loss, just focus on your diet, eat a couple hundred under maintenance. As for the excercises I would really focus on some cardio & compound excercises that workout more than 1 muscle such as Deadlifts, Bench Press, Squat, Military Press, Barbell Rows, Chinups/Pullups, Dips & such . & if I were you really I wouldn't focus on useless isolation excercises such as barbell curls. Try not to spend to much time in the gym. & about your Shitty form.. just watch youtube videos & practice with really light weight, you'll get it don't worry to much. Here is a routine I would Follow
Monday - Chest/Triceps + light cardio after workout
Tuesday - Long Jog
Wednesday - Legs + light cardio after workout
Thursday - Long Jog
Friday - Back/Biceps + Light Cardio
Saturday - Long Jog
Sunday - REST
& FOCUS ON YOUR DIET!

I would stick with Built's program. If you don't like the idea of regular deadlifts do Romanian Deadlifts for a while because the technique is easier to learn. But yeah, start light and practice.
