    is legs 2 the same as legs 1?
    do you do push/pull/legs/push/pull/legs rest?

    seriously lacking in hamstrings.
    you should be shot for not deadlifting.

    It'll work as long as you focus on progressive overload and eat enough food.

    training 6 days a week is a little overkill for me but it's not like you can't do it.....

    Also add in dead lifts to 1 of your pull days.

    I'd at least double your squat volume . squats should be your main lift for legs and 3 sets isn't enough .
    I'd add in deadlifts, snatch grip rack pulls, and bent over barbell rows to your pull days
    I'd add in barbell incline Bench press to your push days

    doing every single exercise to sets of 12 is not ideal. you should hit multiple ranges . some exercises , like overhead barbell press you may be hitting reps of 6 , then other exercises like dumbbell presses perhaps hitting reps of 15 (that way your shoulders are hit with multiple rep ranges and stimulating more fiber types)

    Stop focusing on quantity, focus on quality. I do ppl routines and generally speaking i keep it to four maybe five workouts each session. I either end with or start with my heavy compound today. I also quit obsessing over sets and reps. (Unless you are doing some kind of programming)
