1. too many warmup sets. for example, you warm up for each bicep exercise you do. your biceps are already warmed up. you're wasting energy. do a couple of warmup sets, then everything else should be working sets.
2. squat
3. don't do cable rows before dumbell rows. hit the freeweight movement first and then go to the machines if must
4. too many bicep execises. pick 2-3 and do 3 sets of each
5. your tricep workout is weak. you need to start with either dips, close grip bench, or skull crusher and then move on to the easier exercises like pushdowns and extensions. in fact, if by "extensions" you mean kickbacks, throw these out. they are next to worthless
6. your shoulder workout is lacking. do 3 sets of db overhead press or 3 sets of military press, then hit some db laterals, then do something for your rear delts like bent over laters or face pulls
do a search on this site for some good workouts. 5x5 is good, but for beginners i would recommend the good old-fashioned 3 sets of 10,8,6 for each exercise until you feel like you're not growing anymore

I was just trying to give him something simple. I guarantee it's enough volume, though. If he were doing something closer to the kind of routine I like, it would be something like this:
Monday
Dip
Overhead Press
Row
Squat
Thursday
Incline Press
Chin
Stiff-leggeds
with some accessory exercises thrown in...

How the hell do you train? You're telling me a day where you work out your entire body intensively isn't going to be as difficult as say, your chest day?
Debaser said:
Entire body? In 5 sets? Alot easier then my chest day. Easier then my fucking off days
You can check out my training log. Im sure youll find plenty to criticize

If you can do more than 3 sets for a bodypart you're not training hard enough.
If you do 2 hard sets of dips, 2 hard sets of overhead presses, 2 hard sets of rows, then a set of 20 rep breathing squats, you should be obliterated at the end of the workout. If you're not, then you're doing something wrong. I leave the set of 20 squats at the end, because I can't train after I do it.
Very doubtful....I have a stronger pain tolerance then most

Pain tolerance has nothing to do with it. We're talking about sheer exhaustion. I guarantee I could have you in a destroyed state after 1 set of squats.
