@alonadoni If you are having A & B workouts like that, I would change more than just the squat and deadlift. You can substitute almost everything to have two completely different workouts.
I'm going to be aiming to release a sneak peak of my Full Body program this coming weekend. Check that out, maybe you can follow that rather than trying to make your own!

@alonadoni Your routine looks OK man! If you're a beginner it's probably not bad volume. You can work up to more volume in time as you get more advanced.
But also, the only way to learn new exercises is to try them, so don't be shy to give them a go!
And it's not necessarilly good to get into a habit of relying on machines. Just because they are easier does not make them better. It's good to challenge yourself and work on your stabilizers with more free weight movements. If you stick to machines too much, those stabilizers don't get worked much at all.
But you have a fairly good mix of free weights and machine weights. The other reason I didn't include many machine movements in the program is that I wanted people with home gyms to be able to do most of the workouts too!

@alonadoni What do you mean you split the deadlift to two different movements? Also, make sure your knees are tracking out on squats to mimimize potential injuries.
Adding the dumbbell bench press as a variation is a good idea. But you can also try things like paused bench press or pin presses if you have hit a plateau. If you have a spotter, you can try forced reps too! And if you've been doing the same rep range for a while, mix it up!

@alonadoni That's great progress with your squat so far man! Awesome! My advice would be to not give up on the deadlift just yet though - it might be hard, but the only way you are going to get better at it is if you keep practicing 😊
You're welcome for the help!
