Why are you asking for opinions? You state yourself, you have many interests and only lift weights for enjoyment.

Do what makes you happy. Who cares what anybody else thinks? Like you, I train for...

It's an exercise that targets the anterior deltoids, the triceps and the pectorials. Therefore, taking them out of the exercise is impossible.

To target the chest try dumbbells which offer a...

Consider using dumbbells to take the back out of the move somewhat. One thing if injured, it is better to be safe and so avoiding the exercises is no crime. There are plenty of alternatives and...

If you want to target the hamstrings, stiff-legged dead lifts are the wrong exercise. They allow for the bar to drift forwards and the back should bend.
Romanian dead lifts require the bar to stay...

I don't like them. Do you? If you do, then sure, go ahead. No law states I must do them. And no law says you shouldn't.

Be wary of how you get in the starting position though. If you jump form the...

There is no rule that says you should be stronger in one exercise over anther. My seated dumbbell shoulder press is heavier than I can manage of flat dumbbell chest press. And my Romanian dead lift...

Both are good exercises. I perform both and both have advantages.

I normally start back workouts with wide-grip pull-ups and then use pull-downs as a last exercise. That allows me to concentrate...

Do what suits you: what works to reach your goals; what you enjoy. Those are the only factors you need to worry about. If you want to 'reverse' your workout then just go ahead and do so. If after...

Losing weight is simple calorie consumption - use more than you consume.

I don't believe there is a law saying you must do anything with regards to training. Do as suits you.

Only make things easier if you aren't able to competently perform the sets and reps though;...

I only listed the exercises. The order wasn't supposed to match the list exactly - the list was just to list some exercises. I probably should have mentioned that.

Also, I'm assuming the chap is a...

Irony? ;-)

Not strictly related, but the bold exercises are not wise choices for a full body workout. They are more suited for specialisation.

A better full body would be something like:

Squat
Dead lift...

Surely, by definition, you can't hit failure on more than one set. If you can complete a second set, then the first can't have been to failure....

Seriously, it's probably not advisable. Failure...

It's a superb piece of equipment. It helped me perform pull-ups.

Practice, practice, practice. That's the only way. Start with light weight to help. It may be that your body just is not suited for the dead lift. I can't perform flat barbell pressing without...

You can do it if you want. There is no law that says you can't.

Will it benefit you? Or hinder you? Your results will let you know the answer to that. If you find you no loner make progress or are...

Potentially you need a partner. A barbell or heavy dumbbells will do. Or even a Smith machine at the lowest setting. Anything can be use to support yourself as long as it's low enough to the ground....

As for all exercise, chose the set-up that suits and\or works best for you. When performing Romanian dead lofts I use a duck stance (feet highly angled out) and use a wider than hip stance. This I...

I used to own a GHR in my home gym. I think it is overrated and perhaps unnecessary anyway. I find Nordic curls are a much better alternative. Of course they re harder. But then pull ups are harder...
