scheduling example
You don't necessarily have to carry out routine No. 1 on Mondays and routine No. 2 on Tuesdays, and so forth. advice is that you follow each routine chronologically instead of appointing one to a specific day of the week. For example, if on Monday you're feeling a little tired, skip over routine No. 1 and carry it out on the day you start training again.
Here's an example of typical training week.
Monday
Routine No. 1 in the morning, at lunch or later in the evening -- cardio workout optional.
Tuesday
Routine No. 2 in the morning, at lunch or later in the evening -- cardio workout optional.
Wednesday
Cardio in the morning, at lunch or later in the evening.
Thursday
Routine No. 3
Friday
Routine No. 1 in the morning, at lunch or later in the evening -- cardio workout optional.
Saturday & Sunday
Take the weekend off or do a cardio workout.
Rate workout pleaseeee!

LOL so no suggestions?
Re: Rate workout pleaseeee!
One thing I would say is do the Behind The Neck Pulldowns infront of the face.
Behind the Neck stuff is unnatural.
1. You pull the Shoulders past 180 degrees, (to avoid hitting yourself on the Head with a bar or cable), which is not natural.
2. You tip the neck forward, sticking out the Cervical Vertebrae, then stressing the area with weight.
3,. You do both.
This is likely to possibly cause Neck issues, Rotator Cuff issues and possible Scapulae issues as well.

Techinically it will. Well it rests, that's how they measure the Diastolyic reading on the Blood Pressure readings.
Heart going at all times is fine, as long as it's not going like the clappers.
Rmember dude to breathe sometimes when you workout
