Mission accomplished!!!

After resting for a couple of days, I hit the gym once again for a second attempt. Suffice to say I completed the full body workout:

5x6-8 back squats
5x6-8 incline dumbbell bench press
5x6-8 assisted pullups - can't quite pull my own weight yet
*2 sets were pullups, 3 sets were parallel chinup
5x6-8 seated dumbell military presses
5x6-8 bent over rows
4x5-8 deadlifts (saved for last and only did 4 sets because I still felt a little of the side effects from the sets I did on the first attempt)
5x? ABS

Overall I felt I did a much better job this time, most of the exercises I did last time I was able to to do this time with increased weight while those that I had not have much experience with I mostly practiced my form(the squats, bent over rows and deadlifts). The order of workouts this time I think was ok, any comments on this?

I still have a lot of work to do, I rested a bit longer to catch my breath and that caused the full workout to exceed my ideal time limit of 1 hour. I think I was at it for 1.5, so now my next goal is to work on my time while completing the routine. Other than the DLs, the back squats gave me some trouble, my arms aren't very flexible so I had to space my grip out wide which obstructed the hooks where the bar had to land. After a set of squats, it was extremely difficult to land it back on the hooks in fear of crushing my fingers.

For now I think I'm going to stick to 2 full-body/week and then work my way towards 3 over a month. I'd like to thank everyone for all the advice you've given me thus far. Of course, anything else you would like to add would be really appreciated.

Squats and deadlifts in the same workout might not be the best idea, most people sycle them, doing squats one day and deadlifts the next day, but if you can handle it, its fine, you just gotta listen to your body.
Some people par backsquats with romanian deadlifts, since they dont overlap the squat asmuch as the conventional deadlift does.

Aloha & Hozit!

Any time we take off for a long period from physicl activities (in this case exercise workouts) the "healthiest way" to begin is working on a conditioning phase which means going back to the basics of the right breathing pattern, the right exercise posture, the right choice of exercise, the right order of exercises that will eventually put your physical health in the right direction.
The one thing that is most significant is that when you exercise that you stay on purpose and understand to not only "work on" but rather feel to learn and "work with" your body's present level of health which means from inside out.
When attempting to do a "full body" workout, there is a method we learn called the Bullseye Workout. This is exercsing from the center which are your bigger muscle/muscle group attachments - chest/back and workout outward to the shoulder arms. For lower trunk and extrimities this is working from the lower abdominal/hip/glutes then quads, hamstrings, inner-outer thighs and calves. (This is where the order of exercise is most important. This is like cooking when you start putting in the ingridents (did I spell that right?)
Wrong order, not going taste good and right.
To help you visual this, picture the anatomical postion of the human body and draw a diagram of a huge bullseye start from the heart/center and spirialing out to the ends of the fingers and toes.
Hope that helps.

You may need to physically work with someone there where you workout to
observe and communicate what it is he/she might see that will enable you to continue to workout safely.
I wish not to elaborate too much on your thread but simply share some insight.
Please keep in mind as well your heart that your are trying to "Build yourself up and not BEAT youself UP!

Good Health To You & Aloha!
