Question for the strength lifters here. A friend of mine is getting back into lifting after a long hiatus and his main goal is to increase his numbers on deadlift, squat, and bench. He's working with an experienced trainer who gave him the following routine:

Monday:
>Flat bench 4x10
>Dumbbell chest fly 4x10
>Dumbbell alternating bicep curl 4x10
>Hammer curls 4x10
>4x20 crunches
>20-30 minutes cardio

Tuesday:
>Deadlift 5 sets working up to 1RM
>Deadlift for 5 @ 175 lbs
>Dumbbell rows (heavy) for 10 reps
>Kettlebell swings for 15
>Oblique crunches 20 each side

Wednesday:
>20-30 minutes cardio
>Crunches 3x20
>Oblique crunches 3x20 each side
>Plank holds 3x20 seconds

Thursday:
>Arms (hasn't created routine yet, in progress)

Friday:
>Legs (hasn't created routine yet, in progress)

Saturday:
>Rest

Sunday:
>Repeat Wednesday core routine

Is this good for strength? He's been a trainer for 10 years, so my friend trusts him, but this looks strange to me and I feel like the trainer should know better than to make a routine like this for somebody with his goals in mind, especially if he has a decade of experience. Thoughts?

Noticed a few things - there aren't any squats (yet) and there aren't and incline db/bench or dips.

Program kinda seems like shit to me and not well thought out or the trainer wants them on a 2500 calorie diet.

Hit compound exercises at least 3 times per week, constantly progress weights, and eat a lot of clean foods. Isolation exercises should follow compound.

The thing that jumped out to me was the weird deadlift programming and the fact that everything is sets of 10 with bench and deadlift just once a week. For a strength routine.

Ridiculous routine for strength. Trainer obviously doesn't know what he's doing or doesn't care about his clients goals.
