    My workout: advice welcome

    This is the workout I'm planning on starting. I don't have weights or reps figured out yet because it's been a while since I did any sort of fitness regime. Looking for advice on anything I'm missing or anything unnescessary that I should cut. And any other advice you want to give.

    1 hour jump roping, running or rowing

    Clean and press
    Lat pull down
    Deadlift
    Upright rows
    Shrugs
    Chest press
    Rows
    Pec flyes
    Twisting dumbbell curls
    Tricep extensions
    Tricep dip
    Frontal raises
    Lateral raises
    Sit ups
    Back extensions
    Planks
    Bicycles
    Leg raises
    Bridges
    Squats
    Leg extensions
    Leg curls
    Lunges
    Calf press
    Wrist curl

    I was thinking of doing interval training with jump roping, or would that be better to do with running? I'm in the process of putting together a diet plan but right now I'm in a place where I have very little control over the food I eat, only how much of it I'm eating. I'll try to put together some compound movements.

    I looked up compound movement exercises and came up with this all compound workout:

    Bench press
    Squat
    Deadlift
    Clean and press
    Military press
    Row
    Upright row
    Pullover tricep extension
    Dip
    Pull up

    Doesn't seem to hit the biceps much, do you think I should add curls?

    That's great but I would stick to deads,bench,squat if you have any energy left curls and overhead press will pretty much hit every muscle in your body..
    As far as interval training a jump rope is great but I like to be able to see and control my heart rate so I can get it to a certain rate and keep it there if you think you can push yourself and you don't need to monitor your heart rate that's fine..I would at least start journaling your food intake and your workout and use the journal to push yourself and monitor your progress..

    Thank you. I really appreciate the advice. I might ask for a wrist heart rate monitor thing for Hanukkah, should help. I have an empty journal that I can use to track.
