How so? You mean just start over and follow the guideline posted? I'm considering it but the gym I go to is shit so it might not have all the necessary equipment I need to perform some of the recommended exercises. I'm almost sure there's no equipment for a dead lift.
sorry about the wall of text but there will be no shortage of pithy responses so I might as well be the longwinded one:
Beginner vs intermediate vs advance is determined not by amount you can lift or time since you first touched a weight but by how fast you can improve performance (usually improved performance = adding new weight). This is because the question "how fast can you get better?" is actually providing the information "how close to your max genetic potential are you?" If you have more room left to improve you can go very very fast. A dude really close to his potential limits could have to bust his ass on a month-long cycle involving a dozen workouts to add 10 pounds to a lift. A beginner could add 10 pounds to his squat from one workout to the next with only a single recovery day in-between the two.
GAF will dislike the workout you posted because the logic behind workouts that look like that usually boils down to "Splits are how lifting works right? my friends do a leg day and a back day and crap like that. I'll do that too. Also I'll run sometimes. Running is healthy right?"
Proper full body strength training workouts benefit pretty much any conceivable goal even if a person only sticks to them for a month or two, whether that goal is "get buffer," "lose weight," "get enough exercise to maintain my current weight and fitness level," "get stronger just because I want to be stronger," "increase my baseline strength as a precursor to specific training in some sport," "fix my shitty posture," or"rehab an injury" (though this last one often requires modifications to normal programs obviously). If any part of that list makes no sense, ask and people will hopefully elaborate.
The fitness thread strongly encourages anyone who posts here to consider an actual program instead. The only reasons for someone who stands to benefit from a more legit training to avoid it is either "barbells sound scary" or "the way I'm doing things now is so much fun that it is its own reward and I don't care about long term progress."
You said your goal was weight loss. People will passionately advocate the best way to achieve that goal, even if it initially sounds like they're being dicks.
If posters sound impatient it's because people routinely discuss their fitness goals with the ironclad belief of "the random stuff i put together out of conventional wisdom could not possibly be wrong." A lot of the most common complaints that are said in response to "do a real training program instead" are even pre-empted by the OP if people read it more often.
Unfortunately, most people get nowhere with that train of thought because conventional wisdom about health and fitness is really, really terrible and inaccurate.
