Those are great exercises to use, and with your lifting experience t I see no issue using them. I would run at minimum something like an A/B split, alternating every other workout:
Quote:
Workout A
Squats 2 x 10
Bench Presses 2 x 10
Bent-Over Rows 2 x 10
Overhead Barbell Presses 2 x 10
SLDL or Leg Curl 2 x 10
Barbell Curls 2 x 10
Donkey Calf Raises 2 x 10
Reverse Crunches 2 x 10
|
Quote:
Workout B
Deadlifts 2 x 10
Dips 2 x 10
Pullups 2 x 10
Overhead Barbell Presses 2 x 10
Shrugs 2 x 10
Barbell Curls 2 x 10
Donkey Calf Raises 2 x 10
Reverse Crunches 2 x 10
|
Or you could just do this:
Quote:
Squats 2 x 10
Dips 2 x 10
Deadlifts 2 x 10
Pullups 2 x 10
Overhead Barbell Presses 2 x 10
Shrugs 2 x 10
Barbell Curls 2 x 10
Donkey Calf Raises 2 x 10
Reverse Crunches 2 x 10

...Maybe even alternating calves and abs each workout to save some time.
I'm not a big fan on doing deadlifts every day though, so I would recommend either doing them every other workout, or on Wednesday's only. I also wasn't sure if alternating between exercises like rows and pullups was an option...
