This will definitely be interesting...
I'm going to take all of your advice... I havnt done a full body routine in 5 years... I'm gunna make myself cry.... Should be very interesting...

Squats 3x5-8
Bent Over rows 3x8
Bench 3x5-8
Military pres 3x5-8
Close Grip Chins 3 sets
Dips 3x10

Day 2 off

Day 3
Leg press 3x8
Wide Grip Chins 3 sets
Incline Bench 3x8
Side laterals 3x8-10
Standing Barbell curls 3x8
Skull crushers 3x10

day 4 off

Hamstring curls 3x8
Leg extensions 3x10

Does this look like too much volume? I'm tryin to make sure I nail each body part from a different angle each day.. I'm also planning on doing 20 minutes of cardio 5 days a week.

What do you think?

Looks fine,

try and alternate antagonistic muscle groups - with a 1 min 40 sec rest time between each to cut down workout time.

You may enter a slight overtraining by the end of the 3 weeks. Well I did because I did workouts every 2 days instead of 3 days a week. Don't worry, when you go back to your normal cycle, you will find your body starts to super compensate and steady gains in strength start to arrive.

Its a principal off what the Soviet called concentrated loading.

I'll let you know weather or not you should thank the soviets, 5 weeks from now
Thanks
