These workouts seem fine although a bit bizarre. The fact you hit each compound 3x on the heaviest set is money. Although based on your maxes, I'm surprised you aren't going heavier on the first few sets. The supersets within the dropset afterward are a bit strange and might be better suited for the end of a workout as a burnout. Modulating the reps (8, 3, 2, 7) and the weight like the trainer suggested seems arbitrary. Sounds like he just wants to be interactive and the superset gives him an excuse to get in and change the weights a lot. This workout scheme is good for a cut, due to the high volume, but won't help much on the strength gains front. A basic progressive overload set up would be more productive. Having DOMS is probably more of a product of a new routine than it is indicative of strength gains. Good exercise selection though, only thing I'd change is doing high rep russian twists with a 45lb bar or even a pvc pipe and really searching for the contraction instead of weighted oblique sit ups, in order to minimize that blocky waist muscle gain.
