i have mondays off and sometimes i have to skip a day or two due to working overtime(its a small business where i work in 13145 different positions, so I never know when i have to work extra)

The comment still stands man, even if you've been doing this for 30 days and making progress you will make more progress with a workout that is more efficent and based around more major compound lifts.

Now i see alot of what you include is conditioning and stretching that makes it look worse then it is volume wise. We also have no idea of the reps and sets that your doing for each, or if your doing this all in a row. Thats why it looks like your just going to burn out.

no i'm pretty sure you didn't. if you did, brush up on your english skills there adolf, because that pile of dogshit you call a routine goes against all principles taught in the literature.

Most of these could probably be cut. There are either better alternatives for these exercises or your energy should be focused on other lifts.

You also do dips every day. Great exercise yeah, but give some time off. Meanwhile you only squat once a week.
 
Needs a lot of trimming down. Too many exercises that ar dangerous and are pointles, and no squats.

How the fuck can you say you read the FAQ and not put squats in there?

tuesday is squat day:)
i would ask you which excersizes you have in mind and why, but i guess that would be too much.

i do 5 reps 3 sets for most excersize on weight days, on weightless days i do 1 to 2 sets of each depending on whether i feel like i am gonna overtrain or not ;)

No disrespect, but instead of spending all your time building this exquisite routine based on what you've read, go to the weight room and figure out what does and doesn't work.

Because I have spent my fair share of time with the iron, I know that this routine has too much volume and will take too long...especially for a novice lifter.

I thought this was funny. As if he was the only person to think of doing this, we are all so stupid we couldnt figure out the secret code.
 
Biggest problem is exercise selection beyond the key lifts which u got...

I would emphasize standing OHP/vertocal pressing exercises over horizontal pressing exercises......so Military Presses, Push Presses, Bent Presses, jerks, etc. instead of bench,etc...should all be the first in your pushing day....you can include bench or other such exercises as secondary.....heavy dips are also good....but please do them with extra weight....and dont overdo them....

Exercises like upright row, lateral raises are a waste of time and even dangerous. So be careful with what you choose...

Stick to 3-4 key lifts.

You may want to tone down your conditioning days with exercises like dips. It all collectively puts a tremendous amount of stress on CNS.....

I highly recommend grip training included in your weight lifting....
