    Doing 10 reps each set won't work for long with this routine - by going to positive failure on the first set, there is no real way subsequent sets will hit 10 reps due to the fatigue/intensity of the...

    I think this routine would work well for a beginner if you made a few changes, personally I would lower the frequency (3x fullbody or 6xupper/lower) and focus on the basics - keep rest periods to 2...

    I'm the same, and my chest workout consists just of pressing exercises. Funnily enough though I do feel them if I do them first in my chest workout, but would rather they not interfere with my bench...

    Any back exercises except deadlifts and chinups.

    I hate any form of rowing exercise, bars/cables/machines - I just don't feel anything at all

    No - why would it? if anything cold air should in theory increase your heart rate as your heart has to increase the amount of blood flow to keep warm - you dont lose fat via sweat, only water.

    As said above I would mostly focus on volume/rep gains for 'accessory' movements (dbs/cables/machines etc). Try and aim for the strength gains with your main barbell based movements - using a barbell...

    Just sounds like standard pump training - it'll work provided you stick with it and progress in weight/reps/sets, but like you say some people can find it boring and prefer to lift heavier.

    If the ceiling is getting in the way, then you have no choice but to do them seated. This is fine though and in regards to your shoulders standing offers no real benefit over seated.
