@alexanderlewis Push day looks good. If you’re running short on time cut out one of the compound shoulder exercises as the bench press does a lot of work on the shoulders also.

Pull day you could cut one of the bicep exercises if you wanted 6 sets on biceps is fine for a beginner. Also consider pull-ups at the start.

Legs looks pretty ideal. When you get bored maybe add in some walking lunges

Over all your training volume will be quite high for a beginner, probably going to take you just over an hour per session, so if you struggle with that try doing 2 sets on each and go for 40 mins until you’re ready to increase.

Apart from that it’s solid. Focus on form to begin with and move up to progressively heavier weights.
