(do you mean shoulder press?)

bent row / single arm shoulder press 4 x 6
hard push up variation / static lunge 3 x 12
(where can i find some pushup variations apart from the 3-4 basics i know?)
day 3
front squat 10 x 3
reverse lunge / pull ups 4 x 6
db press / chest supported row 3 x 8

(core exercises would be: prone braces (straigth or side), pelvic tilts, leg raises)
(conditioning exercises would be: ????)
- yes shoulder press
- try diamond push ups, tiger bend push ups and/or bodyweight tricep extentions
- yes stabilisation core exercises such as prone braces etc...something anti rotation
- for consitioning exercises go to "real fat real fast' by alwyn cosgrove/chad waterbury and do any of those listed in the article 3 x 15

This happens to me sometimes when i workout in the morning, it has never happened when i used to train late in the evening.
After 35-40 mins. , especially after lunges, i might feel completely out of energy, struggling to complete the last sets. Note that i go to the gym straight after breakfast. Does this mean i should eat more during breakfast? i currently have a bowl full of oatmeal + milk , 2 apples or something similar.

Keep the apples seperate from the Oatmeal, about 10-15 minutes should do for better digestion, and also only have 1.
Your Carbs are probably too high. You're getting 38g Approx from Apples, and a lot of Carbs from Oatmeal and Milk combined.
Glycemic Load can be higher than usual first thing, owing to lower Bloodsugar but you're likely getting a bigger one than you need. You don't need to create an almost sky high bloodsugar response, then by workng out, create the counteractive effect, as exercise is a bloodsugar reduction factor.
So cut one of the Apples out, and have more Protein potentially. Just add about 3 Scrambled Egg Whites in, which should do it, so you're getting some compensaton for part of the Carbs Calories you're cutting.
I would allow also, a bit of time for extra digestion if possible, before training. Just give yourself another 20 minutes before you go if possible, and try the slight modifications to Breakfast, and see how that pans out for a couple of weeks.

As of the last 20 days, i have started again to have a detailed strict plan and try to workout every other day. Not only have i gained mass in no time but soccer performance has increased as well.
There are no questions so far, i just wanted to share how happy i am because of the help i found in this forum.
P.S: Whoever wonders what happened before those 20 days, summer happened, here is Greece, which means beaches, clubbing and everything
