Waaaaaay too much every day.

Biggest mistake i see people do when designing a full body workout is they think like a split program.

A split commonly has you do an exercise or movement once a week. The same amount of work sets can be done for each over the same time frame, a week. So if a split has you do 10 sets and you do that once a week a full body 5 times a week would have you do 2 sets each day.

For an example:

That explains a great 5 day a week full body program.

Ok thanks, I'll do more research and read that link. So you're saying that is too much volume?

Throw in some bb rows and you make sure you have a hamstring focus leg day and quad focus because deadlifts will affect your Squat and vice versea

why not just go with one of the traditional strength programs such as 5x5?

I don't think its too much, depends how much time you have in the gym?
Its pretty much a 5x5 with one accessory movement per part.

I like light, medium, heavy days for 5x5 type work, with each movement maxing on a different day.
It needs some kind of structure to build strength, not just max out 5x5 3 times per week.

I was looking into it and I may do it but I also have another idea.

That is what I was going for, I have given this thought and I might just go for rest pause training for strength with this layout.
