Can you do more than 15 pullups?
Dont even bother with smith machine squats, why would you even do that?

If you think that slew of exercises is good you are delusional.

What weights are you using for this OP? Question for fit, will a routine like this help me lose fat as well?

I didn't design this myself so smith wasn't my idea.

A workout like this will burn calories.
Building muscle does burn fat but you have to do this routine with a high intensity, no casually taking breaks and such.

3x8 is nothing special, you'll have to up the reps to 15 - 20 to make the difference

>skull crushers
a fad exercise that is bad for elbows due to lack of bicep activation

>rows before deadlifts
Do you want to hurt you back?

>leg press and smith machine squats
enjoy your quad dominance and lack of knees in 10 years

>high volume deadlifts
the final nail in the coffin for your derpy routine

Now go read practical programing, or some shit.

My dear OP,

Go read Practical Programming Rippetoe. Go read 5/3/1 by Tate. Go to exrx.net and study the different muscles and how the different movements require synergists, antagonists, stabilizers, etc.

Go practice form for 2 weeks with an empty barbell. Use a video camera. Be fucking critical. Learn about periodization, overloading, how the different muscle groups fatigue differently.

Then come ask us for a routine.

>skull crushers
Every body builder does these, they dont fuck up your elbows if you use good form. Nobody is asking him jerk the weight around and fuck up his joints.

>Rows before deadlifts
Ill just ignore your horrible rhetoric here.

>>leg press and smith machine squats
He already admitted to smith machine squats being sub par. My idea was to try to get OP to remove smith machine squats from the routine but he seems to be gone.
Some peoples hams and glutes dont get enough work through squats and some peoples do. We dont know enough about OP right now to assume anything.

>high volume deadlifts
I'd hate to throw a strawman in here but you think that 3x6 is high volume.
Its true that BEGINNERS should only be doing 1 or 2 sets of deadlifts a week but OP is just asking if this is a good routine. Hes not asking if this is a good routine for a beginner to do.

exhausting your back with rows before deadlifts is just asking for slipped disks and hernia.

skullcrushers are gay, why you do them, there's better shit for hands lol

Dude. MOST peoples' hamstrings and glutes don't get properly (in that they observe proper form) activated in the barbell squat.

MOST people observe a HUGE quad dominance in their squat. With Smith Machine, you HAVE to observe a high degree of quad dominance because the barbell track is normally perpendicular or slightly canted towards.

He is asking /fit/ for advice, 95% chance he has shit form and is a beginner.
