Possible? yes. Probable? no. Your routine looks like you just picked every exercise you could think of and "organized" it by days. The only thing I can think that would be good for, is cardio. Stick to SIMPLE workouts until you are much more experienced. Squat, Deadlift, Row, Bench, Press. If you want add some chinups/dips for bi/tri work.
 
Okay so i'm confused, how the hell is doing only those lifts going to benefit me? I mean you just totally blew my mind by telling me to do less work than what i'm doing now. I'm familiar with all those lifts i've done them before, this routine i'm on now is only a month old. Can you explain to me in more detail why what i'm doing is wrong?
 
Screw it......could you give me a good idea of what i should be doing then.......I mean like lay it out weekly, cause i'm no expert, i need to lose this fat and i would like to gain some mass too, so if your telling me these will get me there then i'm all ears, just give me somewhere to start!!! Cause apparently i'm an idiot.
