It isnt a "DESIGNED" workout, It is a simple push/pull routine with an added cardio/hiit day. The weights are based on a common strength gaining protocol 5/3/1 wendler. The program is based of using % of 1rm for non linear progression in the 4 main compound lifts. I realize that you are talking about semi linear progression nex, I also realize the proven effectiveness of such a routine. Non linear progression shows more growth than linear in "advanced lifters"(hardly advanced just not eating enough for regular linear progression)for most part.
The squat, deadlift, bench, and ohp are large barbell complexes that recruit and use a large number of muscles. You will find approx 0 barbell complexes in the p90x program, Yet another fail from the over 300lb resident.
Adding in more leg based work is redundant at this point, I have highbar atg squats, deadlift, overhead squat, snatch, c&j, as well as sprints. I cannot think of a facet of the posterior chain and/or the leg that those do not involve greatly.
