Theres no routines that work and don't. They all work some are just better than others.

Pick a simple one to start and stick with it for a month. Take what works for you and leave out and switch up what doesn't.

Training is only 10% of the equation here. Diet is the most important thing of all.

The only thing that makes a workout no good is if it isn't hitting the right antagonist and protagonist muscles and can cause a muscle imbalance.

I've seen guys who were jacked who lift 3 times a week 3 exercises a day. Also seen the same with Guys who are in he gym for 3 hours a day.

I seen a guy who goes to the gym and does nothing but squat.

It all depends on the person but as long as you lift you will see results if your diet/sleep is in order

Lift, Eat, Sleep, repeat

Change your program every 2-3 months. Over time and as you tune in to your own body, you will be able to add in accessory exercises or modify routines as needed.

As long as you lift heavy, eat right, and get good sleep.. doesn't really matter what the routine is. There are many good ones.

Also watch out for alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs. A little is ok.. maybe. Too much and you kill your gains.

As opposed to free exercises gym is all about isolating groups man. The usual routine varies a lot and there are, indeed, lots of different exercises. You're also not a beginner, so he's not going slow, he probably assumes you have some good awareness of your body already.
PTs are great but they're not a requirement, if you work out in a decent gym and interacts well with the hired folks you'll be good.

And I wouldn't worry a lot about that possibility. It's a really bad policy, as you will spot it sooner or later and cause some real damage to his name. These guys need to cherish their name a lot. Top tier folks here don't train you in unless you hire some nutritionist and start a diet.

As long as you are getting your main compound lifts and 2-3 exercises for each muscle group you hit your fine.

If you ask a pharmacist how to deal with a cold, you'll be told medicine.
If you ask a yoga instructor how to deal with a cold, they'll tell you meditation.
If you ask an orange farmer how to deal with a cold, they'll tell you orange juice.

This PT is working within their area of expertise. Which sounds like many isolation exercises.

The PT isn't wrong, that is the right thing for some people. But if you want to do something with compound lifts, then you should do something with compound lifts. (I believe EVERYONE should be utilising compound lifts until they know more about how to achieve their goals than anyone else)

Also note, what you have linked are the MAIN lifts for Greyskull. There's no reason not to follow them up with accessories that isolate muscles to give you hypertrophy (assuming one of your goals is aesthetics or size).
