So im going to start hitting the gym.
Workout 1: benchpress, overhead press, squats, tricepspress(?)
Workout 2: Deadlift, chins, bicepcurl
I will do both workouts two times per week. What do you think of the workouts and what days should and place them, regardin rest days etc.
 
Before we can help, you need to add:

Sets and Reps.

What your goals are.

Any other training and/or sports you do.

From the look of it I'm guessing you want to do a push/pull split?

I think Benching and Pressing on the same day would be too much once you start getting heavy. If you're lifting for strength as you should be, even if you want hypertrophy you should gain a good level of strength before hand.

Workout A:
Bench/Over head press 3x5
Squat 3x5
Dips 3x8-10 (add weight if needed)

Workout B:
Deadlift 3x5
Row/pullup 3x5 (weighted pullups)
Curl 3x8-10

So it would be like,
Monday:
Bench 3x5
Squat 3x5
Dips 3x8-10

Tuesday:
Deadlift 3x3 (I prefer 3x3 on the DL but you can do 1x5/3x5, up to you)
Row 3x5
Curls 3x8-10

Wednesday: Off

Thursday:
Over head press 3x5
Squat 3x5
Dips 3x8-10

Friday:
Deadlift 3x3/1x5/3x5
Pullup 3x5
Curl 3x8-10

Sat & Sun off

Or do a 3 day split.

I don't think a push/pull split has anything special tbh, most big lifts like the squat and deadlift work a majority of the same muscles. Same with the pullup and over head press, the lats play a role in both lifts. So tbh you'd be better following a program already laid out for your goals, but if you'd prefer a split push/pull routine then that's your preference.

Why stick with two work out?

I prefer to work out with continually varying routines. It keeps it interesting.
Mind you you have to know quite a few exercises and how to put them together to accomplish that but it's a little more fun that way.

You can also choose to focus on a few main lifts and build a routine around those.

Show examples please.
 
you have the basic lifts for strengthening which I would consider to be;
deadlift, clean and jerk, snatch, squat, and bench press.

start each of your workouts with one of those main lifts and build from there.

Let me know if you're looking to do any conditioning or skill work in your routine and I'll build two sample workouts for you.
