Looks poorly programmed IMO.
I just told you I wouldn't have a beginner start on a PPL routine and then you come back with a low-volume PPL routine and ask me how it looks?
It looks shytty. PPL splits are only moderate frequency (2x/wk max, assuming you workout at least 6x a week) so they only work better than bro splits if sufficient volume is applied. In your example it is not.
Some observations:
- Brb same amount of pushing as pulling (pull volume should be higher for shoulder girdle health)
- Brb only 3 exercises (2 compound, 1 isolation) per session
- Brb teaching front squats to beginners is not ideal since most are too weak and lack the upper back & core strength to sufficiently work their legs
- Brb should have gone BB Bench Press and Incline DB since the DB's they'll be using won't be heavy enough
- Brb no direct shoulder work
- Brb no rear delt or direct lat work
- Brb no vertical pushing or pulling
- Brb no hip hinge
- Brb no core work
Also, you didn't solve the issue of getting this noob to show up to the gym 6 times a week, and since you hacked the volume down so much, any missed sessions will compound the lack of volume resulting in even slower progress.
You the homie but this is one of the most shyttily-designed splits I've ever seen.
tl;dr: Pick a proven noob program (with integrated progression, loading, and volume protocols) and have them run it. It doesn't seem like programming for others is your forte.

I been doing PPL for so long I done forgot what a bro split consists of
since he brand new, I ain’t wanna include OHP or seated military press because I don’t know if he will even be able to do em
I was gonna tell him doing core and cardio can be done on his own time

On a side note, my recovery has been trash lately. Feels like my quad muscles are shredding when I get on the stationary bike. Also, last deload week was the last week of June. That urge to pick up heavy things and put em back down too heavy.

GM low energy but little soccer with the kit and walking in heels, light lifting is what I can muster. Need ab work will try to incorporate into something.

I been mixing Dr Jekyll a non stim preworkout with my current PWO (bucked up woke) and wondering why it feels like it ain’t hitting
took just the bucked up and I’m feeling it . Started lightly sweating on the ride to the gym

Yeah, you trippin trippin.
Wasn't saying put him on a bro split either, but if you don't have experience working with noobs it's prolly best to fall back.
This is just one of the reasons everyone can't be #POWDA1.

Couldn’t ask for a better workout
started to go blind at lockout on a deadlift PR
No idea if I locked out or not but happy to be alive
If you didn't lock it out it wasn't a PR.
Without indisputable video evidence, the ruling on the platform stands as called: no-lift.
Rest up and try it again, buddy.

Non-stim PWOs aren't #Powdas, they're pump products; you're not supposed to feel N.O. boosters until you actually start working.

I was at like 6.4g beta alanine from combining those two and ain’t feel any tingling (pause)Non-stim PWOs aren't #Powdas, they're pump products; you're not supposed to feel N.O. boosters until you actually start working.

Today I felt it tho
The Jekyll was supposed to help with focus but maybe I overloaded myself because it felt like a brain fog moreso during the lifts

I've said it before and I'll say it again: them non-stim pre's ain't shyt.
I can tell you don't be reading labels and understanding shyt. Look at the back of the Jekyll. The nootropic mix is less than 1g (it's ¾ of one). Not even a full gram of tyrosine? If you really think so little of three different substances is gonna help you focus...
As for the beta alanine, the paresthesia (or tingles) diminishes over time with repeated, continued exposure. Whether or not you experience it has no bearing on its effectiveness.
Also,
^This bothered me.
Noobs don't need a variety of exercises that they can use. They don't have the neural or muscular development to benefit meaningfully from many isolation movements and will still progress quickly without them.
Noobs don't need variety, they need consistency and practice, which are two corollaries to variety.
Kind of a "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" (Bruce Lee) type-of situation.
crehs.
