You need to Taylor your routine until you are progressing towards your goals. As long you're heading in the right direction I see no reason to change.

To the OP:

You could probably get away with that routine for a little while but that is A LOT of volume on some big lifts to do all in one day. Here is what I would suggest instead using the same exercises:


Workout A:
Squats 3x8-10
BB Bench Press 3x6-8
Pullups 3x max reps


Workout B:
BB Standing OH Press 3x8-10
Stiff Leg Deadlift 3x8-10
BB Curls 3x10-12
Calf Raises 3x20

You could do this three times a week (week 1: ABA, week 2: BAB) with no deload day. I would say your deloading should be every 4-8 weeks depending on what your body needs.

If I were to change the exercises I would change SLDL to just plain old deads and change BB curls to some sort of row.
