3 days a week, M and F squats, W deadlift.
Progressing the main lifts (first 3) like the original gslp, accessories when I can do all the reps. Should I take out dumbbell curls from workout B? I don't know if it's fine working biceps every gym day.
You have two rows but no vertical pull. You also have no vertical push and nothing that really hits your lateral delts which is a vital part if you have a goal of aestetics. These you can fix by having two (or more) different days in your routine.
Further more you should consider working in other ranges than 3 sets of 12
Fair but I would not put lat pull downs on the same day as chin ups and I wouldn't put rows with deadlifts. Also the isometry of your 4th compounds triggers my autism.
Working biceps every other day is fine so you don't need to remove any curls if it's an important area for you
get a coach.
What do you mean with "isometry of your 4th compounds triggers my autism"?
On day "A" you have lat pulldowns which is a vertical pull and on day "B" you have inclined barbell bench which is a (semi) horizontal push.
It's not necessarily bad if you have a good reason for it. Again it just triggers me
