I love a challenge.
I read your post above where you said a wider grip is working for you on squats. If your shoulders start hurting again you could look into getting one of the shoulder friendly squat bars. Iāve never used one, but I have a home-made bar that works wonders for my shoulders.

Shoulder workout this morning.
Ohp 45kg 5x5 5th set felt easier than the 4th.
will up to 47.5 and do 8x3 next workout
Db Lateral raises 8kg 3x10
Seated Db press 18kg 3x8
Rear delt fly machine 45kg 3x10
Seated press machine 45kg 3x10
Upright cable pull with rope 35 kg 2x10
Surely your gym has a rack, a barbell, weights and dumbbells? With this you can do 100% of what you need to get strong

boyce is there a special reason why you are doing so much assistance movements?
Iām not really, let me explain:
Iāve decided to train 6 days a week because that helps be stay motivated to stick to a nutrition plan.
I have a physically demanding job so I donāt want to do a full body work out 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week.
I appreciate the value of the big 6: squat, deadlift, bench, ohp, pull up, row, so Iām doing one of these every day as first exercise of my work out, then doing some assistance at low intensity if I feel I have some energy left.
Iāve only started training 6 weeks ago after 9 years off, so Iām gradually reacquainting myself with these exercises to get my form dialled in before I start adding weight.
When Iām lifting more weight on the big 6 I will probably be doing less assistance exercises.

Ralphie; I really appreciate the imput youāve given, and have taken on board what youāve previously suggested, but donāt think full body will work for me at the moment.
That makes sense 
Wasnāt planning to train today, as had some birthday drinks last night, but woke up in time to.
Squat 80kg 3x8 go for 80kg 3x10 next
Legpress 160kg 3x6
Bit pressed for time and hungover but glad I went.

Chest.
BP warm up sets then 57.5kg 6x4 then 1x3 up to 60kg next time
Standing Cable fly 12.5 kg 3x10
Incline db bench 18kgx8 20kgx8 24kgx8 then x6
Seated fly machine 50kgx10 60kg 2x10
Incline bench 40kg 3x8
Feel like chest is working more on bench now not just triceps.

Itās good when your not too hungover to lift still 
Welcome to the old mans section, good to have another log in here. I see you are doing a 6 day body split type routine. Are you following a specific program or doing your own thing ??
Just my own thing for now, I figure I may change once lifts stop progressing or I get bored, but will try to stick it out for another couple of months.
