3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench press / Press (Alternating)
Chin-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps

Seems a bit of a weak workout.

You realise thats just a day of the routine.

Its usually set out as

squat
bench
deadlift

squat
press
power clean

squat
bench
deadlift

then reversed the next week. It certainly isn't weak, it works every muscle in the body as well as being all the main compound strength lifts.
Pull ups, chin ups, dips are all accessory exercises

Sup.

For arms you want to hit bis plus brachalis.

I usually do something like (after back)

DB Curl (Heavy) - 3-4 sets, 1 minute rest between sets
Hammer Curl (Heavy, cheat if needed) - 2 sets, 15+ reps
Reverse EZ Bar Curl (Lightish) - 2-3 sets, 12 reps

But I just piss around and do whatever, drop sets, cable curls etc. just whatever I feel like.
