new fullbody need advice/criticism
After many botched attempts at trying to stick to a workout i have made my 3rd and hopefully final fullbody it has a taken a while and i have tried to include 2 big lifts in each session as i read somewhere that your muscles already tire after 1-2 big lifts so here it is...
Wednesday/Thursday(depending on if i have rugby training)- Squats, Cleans, Shoulder press, Bicep curls, Lat traises, Sit ups
Friday/Saturday- Bent over rows, Dumbell snatches, Shrugs, Tricep dips, Leg extensions, press ups.

I don't really like the isolation exercises. I also think the order is a bit off. There is a thread on this forum by Jpac. IT's like Rate my FBW or something like that. I sent him a FBW, which he very neatly put into tables, I think it'll help you more than this one. You might wanna check it out.

So that's where jpacs workout came from. It looked awfully well put together for a first try or a new lifter. I was thinking he pulled it from TNation or something.

as you can see, his tables are much neater/easier to understand
I remember when I was new I put together a workout I was like
"hmm, bench, db curls, bb curls, hammer curls, preacher curls... Well, that's the whole body!"
lmao

I know they are a bit out of order but it doesnt really matter because i will know which one to do first and theres only one iso per workout which ive read is fine.

Situps isolate the core... therefore Isolation. I don't know hwat you mean by "I asked for advice ont he actuall exercises not how it was laid out"
You didnt' say that in your original post. It just said looking for criticism.
The lay out is just as important as the actual exercises, not to mention that you've neglected to mention sets, reps, and rest time.
I've provided you with a link, and you can look on the forum for Jpac's thread in which he put my linked fbw into charts for himself (and you could use it too). Also, I know Proteinboy has supplied a few good FBWs to others as well. Look on the forum. Your fbw isn't as effective as it could be

Sorry, I was kind of rude earlier in my last post, so I edited it. I'm kind of pissed off today. Didn't mean to take it out on you.

I did give you advice and criticism actually. You neglected to read it. I don't really give a damn whether or not you put your workout in little boxes so I can understand it. I'm not negatively affected by it's construction.
It doesn't matter. I'm not getting in a fight with you in an internet forum.
good luck with your workout

I'll start over setting it out properly and would appreciate exercises to put in take out or move around between work outs. Btw it could take a long time to lay it out.

workout A you may do:
Squat
Bench
Cable Row
dips
Pullups
Lunges
Workout B
Deadlift
DB shoulder press
Upright Row
Dips
pullups
Step ups
Workout C
front squats
DB incline chest press
bentover row
dips
pullups
bulg split squats
Do these each once a week (M W F)
This workout will probably last you at least 6 weeks. When you need to switch just change some of the bilateral exercises to unilateral ones (like bench to db bench) and vice versa (like shoulder press to military press)
These workouts have large variety in exercises (I think) already.
Dips and pullups stay the same because imo, you can't go wrong with body weight exercises (and few can do 3 sets of 12 pullups)

Cheers ill tweak it a little bit so it fits what i can do (i dont have a gym mebership and nothing to do pull ups/dips on)
sorry about that little scrap earlier i dont have a very good temper and can often misinterpret things that have been said.
