yeah i kinda need help on this

i considered dropping something from back day and move deadlift to back day in order to have squates in leg day(since deadlift and squats are not meant to be on the same day, so i can have the benchpress,deadlift,squats combo but in dumbell version

i just want to ask. if this workout is suitable for me or not? do i have too little or too much sets/reps?

i take rest about 1 minute between sets

aiming for clean muscular look. nothing big or bulky. lean mostly. i have considered bulking up by doing reps of 6-8 until i get the size i want before reverting to 12 reps, any pros can help me look into this?also if i were to train legs the way i train them now, i want to keep lean including legs.probably the only things i like big is chest and lats

yeah but some routine has like 24-30 sets for each body part
wheres some routines only has 4-6 sets total for each body part

i am so blur about this haha.

also i noe the big 3 compound exercises.

trying to make do with the least amount of cash possible. my nex investment would be 4x 5kg plates

will the effects of doing the "big 3" be the same if i did it with dumbells instead of barbells?

finished my chest and triceps routine

really quick though =(
after warm up ( several sets of jumping jack, arm and chest stretch and knee pushups )

took about 35 minutes to complete. is this too little?
was it hard? yes. was it tiring? no

my triceps hurt like hell and i guess its a good sign?

but i wasn't like super fatigue in terms of body funtions lol. my muscles feel worked , thats all

but its only 35 minutes?am i suppose to last only this long?
